Sister’s Silent Engagement

When Your Sister Can’t Handle a Conversation With You – What That Really Says About Her Readiness for Marriage

Today I’m sitting with a truth that hurts more than most of my TBI symptoms combined.

My sister just announced she is engaged and planning her wedding.

And I won’t be there.

Not because I don’t love her. Not because I don’t wish her every happiness. But because she has cut me out of her life completely. No calls. No texts. Years of her not wanting to share in anything real together. She has decided that any real conversation with me is too overwhelming for her mental health, and that I am the problem.
