You text and comment on facebook occasionally, my sis never calls me, shes super busy and not a fan of phone calls.recently my brother had a 40th bday and I couldn't go due to work, my sister and my parents flew interstate and went, (my sis left her kids with her husband,) and we all put in money for a gift, I sent him a card.. the next day my sister posted a photo on facebook of her and my sister in law at the party with "sisters" written in the comments, she also wrote she was "blessed to have time with my sis in law" in a separate photo. I was so upset when I saw this, I was happy they all had a good party and were having fun.., but was so upset, as when I saw my sister recently when I flew interstate (3 weeks ago for days to see her and my parents,) she never mentioned being happy to see me on facebook!, and I had not seen her in a year. I know it seems stupid, and we are all over 30 but it hurt so much. guess my sis doesn't really like me as much. sometimes family can hurt you the most..guess Im the relative they rarel think about..

 I think you might be reading a bit to much in to this. Off course it can hurt yes, but am pretty sure that she did not mean to hurt you. She may not have wrote up on facebook how happy she was to see you but that doesn't mean that she wasn't none the less.
So she gets on better with your SIL, yeah it can hurt but these things happen, just because you are sisters doesn't mean you need to be best friends.

I live away from home almost 28 years since I married and they all live close to where we were brought up.It’s like "out of sight, out of mind!" I supposeIf I did visit back home (mum and dad passed away 25 years ago and I seldom do) they would speak if they saw me but no fuss!Last time I was home was 3 years ago for a family funeral and my brother just said "Hello" and my name as he passed me in the doorway!Tell me about it! It really hurts!But for you maybe you can do something about it.Talk to your Mum or Dad or both first and tell them how hurt you feel. Maybe you will get some insight as to what your sister and sister in law and brother are saying.Maybe they thought you didn't care or are uninterested.It’s worth talking about.I really hope you get it all resolved and stop hurting and are able to be close to all your family.Good Luck.
