My sister and I do not get along, and have barely spoken in about 4 years. We have never really been close. She was always abusive, both verbally and sometimes physically towards me, and just always an overally controlling B! I have dealt mainly with her thru avoidance over the years, only really spending time with her at family events- at a distance. We have a wonderful, close family actually. I was MOH at her wedding 5 yrs ago, and it was a horrible experience. Now that my wedding is approaching (we havent announced it yet) I am considering not even inviting her. Keep in mind, she has had 2 children in the past 4 years and has not sent me announcements, pics, emails or invited me to the christenings or birthdays. Gifts I have been able to give them have been given awy or left at my moms. we are both almost 40. She is my only sibling. I feel i'm damned if i do, damned if i dont. please advise! THANKS!

If you've not even been invited to her kids christenings then she clearly made the first step in cutting you off as a sister. Do not invite her!

I have a sister who I loved but is a controlling abusive B to me as well. I am not inviting her. This is one day that I won't allow any family drama to destroy, and I know she'll start it. It's your day, it's up to you.

I have two sisters. My youngest sister has always done what she could to get under my skin. I do not mean feeble sibling rivalry stuff but touching on things that are important to me and trying to sabotage. My older sister has always insulted me, my way of life and the choices I make. I am not inviting either of them. I do not want my youngest sister trying to shrink down my happiness of the day and I do not want my older sister minimizing every little aspect of the wedding. I do not need them there to have a wonderful day. If you do not feel comfortable inviting your sister, then don't. There is no rule book on YOUR day. Invite who you want and make sure your day is wonderful.
