My older sister and I have not had any kind of relationship except a destructive one. I try to remain civil and not do any harm to her or me. However, it has gotten to the point where I need to decide if being civil is safe or not. To make a long story short- she abused me when we were kids, and so did some of her friends. I have tried to take the high road and after years of therapy, have forgiven that behavior. I ahve confronted her and she denied it, and still does. However, she is very angry at me and now has a son (my nephew is 2) who I am afraid of hurting. She has not let me hold him. She lives 1000 miles from me, and I only see them on holidays. I want to make sure I am doing the right thing, and I continue to send holiday cards, etc, but it sucks not getting it in return. I feel that I am hurting myself. Where do I draw the line?
