I am now learning that they did roughly the same thing to him all those years ago - I just never knew it.<br /><br />It's a painful thing - even if it's been along time.Kris, in New Englandhttp://www.noodlingonit.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16232845.post-3238614331469829402010-10-18T08:38:44.376-07:002010-10-18T08:38:44.376-07:00Hi, that hasn't happened in my family but to p...Hi, that hasn't happened in my family but to plenty of friends I know. I'm sorry that it's happening to you and hope you are able to reestablish your relationship with your sister. If not, you know you tried! ;-)Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03099938295287900924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16232845.post-14391986136722496822010-10-17T18:45:06.224-07:002010-10-17T18:45:06.224-07:00It happens too often.

My husband has a brother who has disowned us all (including his own kids), changed his name, disappeared without trace. As far as we know, doesn't even know that he's got 5 grandkids. But his lawyer was soon in touch when his mother died. :-(Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17931184566199504968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16232845.post-64128376214049567882010-10-17T16:39:16.457-07:002010-10-17T16:39:16.457-07:00I also forget I have a sister.

But I can relate to your story: one of my sons did this disappearing trick a few years ago, for his own reasons - in London! We couldn't contact him when his father died. He did pop up, about a year later, in a deal of trouble from which I rescued him. He's now really quite settled and on OK terms with me, although still not interested in contact with his siblings. He's still extremely angry with them, and with his father, for perceived stuff from the past. Maybe he always will be.M-Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18409916623998907121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16232845.post-79298373263966535612010-10-16T16:56:38.808-07:002010-10-16T16:56:38.808-07:00I forget I have a sister too.

I hope that if your relationship with your sister changes, it is for the greater good, and if it does not, you do not beat yourself up over it! PS. did you listen to NPR two weekends ago?
