Well, its been one year since I left the UPC church that my sister in law attends. And in that year she has only spoken to me a handful of times even though she lives next door. It used to really bother me, being family and all, but now I am actually glad. I do not want or need that kind of person in my life. I don't want to be part of her scene either, so in hindsight this is a blessing to me.
