My sister and I have always had an up and down relationship, but I cannot imagine purposefuly leaving her out of some sort of family trip because of superficial shit like being divorced and not going to church regularly.

I hope this is made up.

I have mixed feelings on this and am finding it hard to judge.

I have a shit relationship with my sister. She was not even invited to my wedding. We have nothing in common and she's lied to me/my mom a ton in the past. We've been trying to work on our relationship, but I wouldn't want to spend an entire weekend with her at this point. I have a feeling there is more to the writer's story than "she's not religious and she's divorced and poor."

That definitely could be.

I mean, my sister has missed countless family things, to include trips, because she was either in rehab, on a drug binge, we didn't know where she was, etc.

It would be nice if they invited her, but everyone doesn't have to be invited to everything. The fact that she went over to this lady's house upset to the point her husband had to mention the police shows she maybe isn't the most stable person. I am all for including people, but it seems like this person could ruin the whole trip.

If there was more to the story, she would have included it.

i don't get invited to everything my sister does. I don't go over there crying.

I get the advice columnist's point that you can't blame someone for "not fitting in" when you exclude them. But if it's a group that she clearly has nothing in common with, then why would they invite her?

Yeah, I don't know why you would leave out more convincing details in an anonymous letter to an advice columnist.

The sister sounds like she might be unstable, but the OP sound like she may also be a judgy bitch
