Do I invite my sister?

We're starting to nail down our guest list to send STDs out in the summer, which means we'll have to start gathering addresses and figure out our vips to send the STDs to.

I'm the youngest of 4 girls, raised by my single dad. I have a good relationship with all of my sisters except one. I'll try not to go into her private history too much, but she's had a long history of mental health issues that she refuses help for. My entire childhood/teenage years she was physically and mentally abusive to everyone in our house. She's 6 years older than me so she moved out the second she could when I was 13 or so, and I've probably seen her 3 times since (I'm 26 this year). We have invited her to every holiday, every birthday, every family gathering and she has never come. Only to accuse us of leaving her out on purpose. We invited her to my dads surprise 50th 2 years ago, which was really close to where she lives, someone offered to pick her up, and she still no showed.

    Personally, I'm sending invites to my problematic family member just so they can't say they weren't invited. Honestly, I wouldn't feel bad about not sending the invite, but I know my father would never hear the end of it if I didn't send one to this particular person.

    You know your family and you probably have a good idea of how the situation will play out either way. Its up to you to decide how you want to face it.
