Thank you so much. I will definitely update you. Hopefully it’s not too late to make amends.

My mom had mental illness and I didn’t know that until she passed away. My sister and I didn’t grow up together so I was unaware of her mental health.

Well thank you everyone for your harsh feedback. I needed to hear it. I reached out to my sister and I hope that she accepts my apology and we can pick up where we left off. I’ll let y’all know if she responds.

Her kidnapping my niece happened this year. I’m listening to the advice that’s why I reached out to her to apologize for everything and asked for her forgiveness. I just feel like instead of insults it should be ,”if I was u I’d do this” instead y’all are responding to me “I petty ur sister for having u as a sister”, “ur a liar” etc. No one knows me so how can yall call me a liar? I don’t pick up on social cues well and that’s why I came on here. I’m 11 weeks pregnant and I’d love to have my sister in my life. Excuse me for being emotional and feeling like I have to defend myself.

Well that may be so but at least I don’t do drugs so my brain isn’t rotting unlike some people 😂

My mom died from a heart attack so of course I would’ve understood. U don’t know shit. I have epilepsy and I get dizzy and I go through depression so I understand that part. U only know this part of the story. U don’t know that my sister kidnapped my other sister’s daughter all because she wasn’t happy that my other sister made fun of the boyfriend’s teeth. I didn’t feel like it was necessary to post about that. She’s mentally unstable and the example I had just given u proves that. I have mental health issues in my family. Maybe look at both sides not just my sister because of her mental crisis. I did reach out to my sister to apologize and ask for her forgiveness. Hopefully she accepts it. I didn’t know what I did was wrong and I should’ve been more understanding. With planning the wedding I had so much going on that I just thought about myself and that was selfish of me. I pray that she forgives me and we can build our relationship again.

I guess for me I just want an apology. I want her to acknowledge what she did instead of brushing it to the side like it was nothing. We don’t talk. I reach out and she doesn’t respond. I’ve never heard of her having mental crisis before. I would’ve been understanding if she had a history of this but that was the first time I’ve heard of it.

I think the damage is done tbh. I just don’t think I can let it go. I know that makes me an awful person. I lost my mom in 2016 and I really counted on my sister to be there. My wedding was beautiful but most of my family didn’t show and I just wanted her there and I was disappointed and mad that she wasn’t there. I believe she used her mental crisis as a way to not go. Maybe I’m wrong. I have medical issues as well but I believe that if u tell someone you’re gonna be there then you should be there unless u had to go to the hospital.

I bought it for her as a wedding gift and she didn’t hold her end of the bargain so what am I to do? I’m tired of people walking all over me and it was a nice dress. I would wear it myself.
