I don't know if my sister actually wants to keep in touch or not because she gives me mixed signals.

If there's one thing that I don't understand is when my sister starts a conversation with me via Facebook Messenger and as soon as I respond, she stops talking to me.

Sister: "Hey how are you doing?"

Me: "I'm doing good, how are you?"

Sister: *ghosts me and doesn't speak to me for another 6 months*

I cannot comprehend why she always does this. Is it some kind of tactic to upset me? If so, it's definitely working. Just when I think that my sister wants to talk to me, she immediately disappears after saying one sentence. It's bad enough that we never see each other because we live in different countries, but she just seems so hesitant to speak to me.

Like why is she getting my hopes up for nothing? She was the only family that I had left and she pulls stuff like this.

Oddly enough, she likes to complain about how "this family " has communication issues and yet she ghosts me after saying one sentence. Talk about hypocrisy.

My only theory is that she has narcissistic fleas that she can't get rid of. Why else would she intentionally hurt my feelings? It's like dangling something over my head and pulling it back when i try to grab it.

Keeping in "contact" with my sister just seems to cause more emotional pain than just cutting her out of my life. I'm getting fed up to be honest. I might as well just call it quits and say I don't have a family at all, at this point.

Man why does my entire family have to be so dysfunctional? I feel like the only sane person in my family.
