Yesterday was my birthday dinner. I invited my brother, sisters and niece, nephews, kids. I did not invite my sister. She refuses to give her phone number out to any of us, and says she is protecting herself from our harrasing phone calls.
My brother and I were discussing her at dinner last nite and she has not given her phone number to him or my other sister either.
The last phone call I received from her was about a month ago when she called me at work to tell me I was a *****. I am not able to call her back, so I decided to block her calls on my phone. In other words, if a "restricted" call comes to my cell phone, it doesnt ring. My brother says he is going to do the same.
Should we be more patient with her? She has mental problems for many years. I believe even though she has mental problems, this does not excuse her from blocking her phone number from all 5 of her siblings. Not appropriate.

I have to drive to another town to invite her and then I have to go pick her up and take her with me.

I worked with psychiatric patients before and the psychiatrist expected them to be appropriate. My sister is not being appropriate. She is actually being very paranoid and showing her ***.

It is a shame that we have no choice in family members. When she is ready to act like part of your family then maybe you can let her in but she is acting like a stranger so treat her like one. You would not accept this from a friend why should you be forced to accept it from a family member.
Good luck

Maybe you and your siblings did something to make her mad at some point in time (or recently) and she just doesn't feel like talking about it or making the effort. I would say just let it go and don't bother with her anymore. Relatives don't always have to be friendly or close.
I don't like my siblings and frequently avoid answering their calls- doesn't mean I'm crazy. It just means they get on my damn nerves.

you said she has mental problems, so she is not going to act normal.try going and talking to her and see what she says.
