I got engaged about a month ago and the first person I wanted to tell was my little sister. She is 10 years younger than me (I’m 26 and she’s 16) but we have always been really close. Being 10 years older, I have always been more of a motherly figure to her than a sister that shares her deepest secrets but she has always looked up to me and said she wants to be just like me. In January, we got in literally our first fight ever because she had been posting pictures that she shouldn’t on social media (drinking, etc....did I mention she’s only 16🤬) and I told her she should take them down. Since then, she has completely blocked me out of her life and I have no way to contact her. She blocked me on all social media and my phone number so I can’t call or text her. I live in a Boston and she lives in NY so I can’t just show up to my parents house and talk to her. She lives with my dad (and step mom) and he refuses to get involved. I keep expressing to him that I really want her to be involved but I can’t get ahold of her and he won’t just hand her the phone or tell her to call me. I couldn’t even tell her myself that I got engaged. My dad said when he told her that she said “poor Jon” (my FH), which also really hurts because we have been together for 7+ years and he has always been so kind to her. My mom texted her asking her if she wanted to go dress shopping with us in June and she hasn’t responded to her either. I know it’s hard being 16 and thinking you know everything but I really think she will regret this in 10 years if she doesn’t want to be involved. I am extremely emotional over the whole situation to the point where it keeps me up at night. I also don’t want to ask any of my other bridesmaid to be in my wedding until I ask my sister but I am really feeling the stress and could use help from my other bridesmaids. I don’t know what to do and I’m super scared she will choose to continue ignoring me because she thinks I’m not the “fun big sister” anymore. Do I ask my other bridesmaids to participate before asking my sister? If my sister does say no, then should I replace her with another one of my friends? All help is greatly appreciated!! 💜
