I feel snubbed at what should be a special moment for us both.
Recently, I discovered that my sister had gotten engaged, but not from my sister directly. Instead, I had to find out from our mom, three weeks after the fact.Harriette Cole: Our mother just died, and we were blindsided by her will
I had always imagined being there to celebrate this special moment in my sister’s life, and the fact that I was left out of the loop has me questioning the strength of our relationship. I always thought that we were pretty close, but it turns out I may be wrong. Should I address my feelings with my sister, or is it better to let it go and focus on moving forward positively?Start out by contacting your sister and congratulating her on her engagement. Let her tell you whatever she wants to share about it, and do your best to be genuinely happy that she has made the commitment to build a life with her partner.
You can then tell her that it hurt your feelings that she didn’t tell you about her engagement herself. Ask her if she has any issues with you that you may not know about.
