Me and my sister used to be really close however since at least last year when our mum died, we've become quite distant. Saying that though, I do try to keep up the contact, message her, call her etc, but she either ignores it or just gives the shortest reply. She used to be the only one in our family who always had my back when it came to my poor mental health but now, for quite a while anyway, I get the feeling like when I'm not so good, she's very much like 'Oh, she's just having another one of her episodes, she'll be fine' and then never really bothers about me. One of the reasons I've not spoken to her about that side of things for ages is because I think that's what she thinks. However, I did try opening up to her over the past couple of days but she's pretty much ignoring me, not replying to my messages and when she does, it short and blunt sounding. After she ignored me again last night, I told her I needed my sister right now, and she's ignored me again. It's just all confirmed how I feel - like I don't matter.
