Personal Post

[Christi]

Well me and my sister have been fighting for 13 months and the past two weeks we have been talking.

I won't get into all the reasons for the long time of not talking, but I will say that my husband is still having issues with her being around.

Some might not think 13 months is a long time but we live exactly 40 feet from eachother houses so not talking was making things around here weird to say the least.

I honestly missed her. She is actually my step-sister but we grew up as kids as sisters and neither of us have blood sisters so we just have always felt like we were sent each other. It has been really nice to have her back. So far she hasn't acted the way she used to(controlling)and she even came and helped me be the Easter Bunny last night. Happy Easter BTW, for those who celebrate.

We invited her and her husband to go on the Cruise with us, so she and I are having so much fun planning the trip. It is nice to have her around.

Anyway, my point I guess is that I might be her less often than normal since she and I have been so busy doing things together. I have been spending most of my online time reading cruise reviews and trying to find packing tips instead of posting here at SnusOn.

No fear, I will be around to read and post, just not 12 posts a day like normal. For those who have my email, email me! I check it often, looking for emails from travel agents on cruise deals, so I will get an email fast. A PM will come there too so that would work as well.

Y'all just wish me and my sister luck rebuilding our relationship. It was very strained and I just hope we can work past all the past and move on with the future.

I love that post, partly cause Debbie is going through very similar with her sister. She was telling m,e last night about how wonderful her conversation was yesterday, how they were laughing really for the first time like they used to do as kids, and I could just here in Debbie's voice how grateful she was to start finding her sister.

So I get what a big thing that is. WAY more important than here, so of course we will understand.

Christi, I am just so happy to have you here again at all. One post, 5 posts, I don't care. You are here, ALL that matters to me.

And again, I loved reading your news about your sister. Good stuff.

Thanks Sage! You always make me feel like my posts mean something, which I appreciate more than you will ever know.

As I was typing that I thought, 'who the heck here cares about me and my sister?!' But now I feel as if I do matter and at least someone does care.

Again, Thanks.

PS, I hope it works out for you Debbie, it has been some of the worst 13 months of my life and I am so happy she is back.

Hey Christi! Sorry I haven't been posting lately...been kinda busy :wink: . I totally understand your situation with your sister. Your problems have been 13 months long....my sister and I have been going through this for over 30 years! Her and I had an abusive father, and I have had deep seeded feelings against her because she "escaped" the situation at an early age, and I didn't.

I have spent the last 30 + years secretly (and unfairly) mistrusting her....Oh, we have talked...but it has always been strained and only the most basic of conversations. I had always been so busy feeling sorry for myself, that I didn't realize that she went through the abuse too. It is just that we have been dealing with it differently. And the really sad part, it has gone on so long....that I didn't see it! Josh knew what it was right off, and had to talk to me and point it out to me. Once I finally saw it for what it was, I really felt bad. So, for the past couple of months....I have been getting rid of those deep-seeded feelings, and have been reaching out to my sister finally as a sister....and it feels WONDERFUL!

We are starting to do things together as sisters, and we have been laughing like we did as kids. So Christi....I totally understand what you are going through, and the time you are spending mending your relationship with your sister is much more important than your post count here on SnusOn. We will be glad for any post that you can make....and know that we are here for you. Enjoy your time with your sister....we will be here when you come back .

Thanks everyone. We spent the afternoon with our parents and had a great time. Looks like this time around will be good.

One of the things that I have found that really helps rebuild relationships is archeology.

That's right archeology

Here is how.

1) First, make up a story about how your neighborhood used to be an Indian burial ground
2) Go to the rock shop and buy some old pottery and arrow heads
3) Third…………… well you know the rest

Glad to hear things are on the mends. Hope they continue to go well.

And I second Sage’s post………..we’re glad you’re back in whatever capacity
