My sister, divorced, 51, and 3 boys, 18, 17, & 16, met up with an old boyfriend she had when she was 18. He was in town. They started talking on the phone everynight. He is moving back here (he is getting divorced) They decided that he will drive a tractor trailer truck, He is started this month, (she is going to start with him also in january) Home 4 days, on the road 10 days. He is promising her his whole paycheck each week, promising to buy her a ranch with horses, car, spending money for her kids each week, an alarm system for her house, to pay her mortgage off, etc etc... In exchange for him staying there on his 4 days home. Now my sister wants him to get custody of his daughter so she can raise her. Ever since all this came up, she no longer will speak to me. Makes me feel that I am not "good enough" to talk to since she is getting so much $!

Your sister needs to be careful of this sweet talking guy. She's vunerable right now and if something sounds too good to be true that's because it usually is. Be there for her, she will be speaking to you sooner than you realize.

First off, don't get yourself down because of what others are doing and saying. NEVER self pity. You have so much to give to others and you are very much loved no matter what.!!!
Second, letting your sister live her own life is the key here. All you can do is be supportive of her, and not get involved unless she asks you for your opinion.
The most you can expect here is to get an opinion from her. Don't expect her to make her decisions based on your opinions either.

I doubt that your sister means to make you feel that way. Have u been interfering in any way? Maybe she doesn't have as much time to spend with you as she used to. By your question it sounds to me like u might just be a little envious of her happiness. Give your sister some time, I'm sure she will come around

Don't feel down, maybe she's just shocked to be getting this much at 51 and with 3 boys. just give her her space and im sure you two will start talking again.

Just be patient with her - she'll miss her sister.
