My sister doesn't talk to my mom or dad???

It's sad how people react this way, expecially to their close ones. Eventhough your sister doesn't talk to mum or dad, unconvenient as it sounds, talking it out is the best way you're going to fix this problem.

anime have you tried to talk to her as she is ypur sister, maybe there is some issue and she was hurt and now doesnt know how to mend the bridges, I am sure you parents do hurt as any parent who loves his or her child hurts when the child pulls that kind of silent treatment. tell her she needs to grow up and realize how well off she really is.oh my 17 is a hard time probably they carried enough about her welfare to stop; her from doing something harmful and she is still mad, so she needs to remember who gave birth to her and cared for her and still loves her.Se would be in a hell of a lot worse place had she done whatever they stopped her from doing.

I hate to say it, but so long as your sister keeps doing this to your parents they will continue to hurt no matter where she's at. I know, because I've seen this type of thing before. My sister is the same way with our mom. Okay, so she's like this with me as well, but she's pretty much always been that way to me so I'm used to it. However, she wasn't always like this to our mom. They actually had a great relationship up until my sister was 17 years old. Anyway, they ended up having a falling out one day (my sister was in the wrong, but she didn't see it that way). It was so bad that my sister wound up moving out. Since then, she and our mom have only seen each other one time in the past 20 years (and that was 9 years ago). I remember our mom being so happy the day she saw her. She was beyond thrilled. And even though our mom was excited, my sister was not. In fact, she didn't say a single word to our mother (she didn't say anything to me either, but that's beside the point) while she was here. I don't know what my sister's problem is. It's been years and she still won't let it go. Our poor mom, I know she feels really sad about it. She even told me she's given up all hope of ever seeing my sister again, which only hurts her more. I hope for your parents sake that your sister will come to her senses. Because it'd be a terrible thing if their relationship wound up the same way as my mom's and sisters. Good luck to you and take care!

that's very hurtful, do you have any idea why she's doing that to them?

hello anime! if you are really concern about the way things are between your sister and your parents, maybe you could do something to bridge the gap between them. Maybe there was something they said or did that your sister had taken the wrong way that why she's acting like that. No normal people, whether adult or child would act like that to her parents for no reason. for a year she had been doing that? OMG, there must be really something that made her act like that. i would say your sister is sane enough since you are not mentioning anything about her vices or wrong doings, so therefore, there must really be something which you have not been made aware of. if you care for them all, then talk to them, ask them what is wrong. you should not just stand by and watch while all that silent treatment is happening, they're your family. it's high time for you to interfere and take matters into your own hands. have them talk to you and force a confession if you have to from your sister, what really made her acted that way. only then can you help them all.

Sometimes this happens with families and it is unfortunate. Although I never had a mother it would have relished her as my queen and maker. Sounds like she really needs to get some issues off her back that have been bugging her whether they are right and or wrong. As I know the feeling of not having a mother to love me unconditionally. I hope this can be resolved.

Agree wholeheartedly. I think she doesn't know what kind of good fortune that she has, that other kids long to have. There's a chinese saying: You are born into an environment of good fortune, but you don't know how to appreciate it. Well, perhaps you should talk to your sister about it, tell her that your parents love her as much as you. You can also quote the children at the orphanage and ask her about her opinion.

If she is almost 18,she is probably having a touch of the fly the coupe syndrome. The closer she is to when she needs to leave home: the less she will get along with them. After she leaves home, it will change. In case her parents don't realize this, let them know what is going on. It doesn't mean she doesn't love them. In time, after she is on her own, she will be back with loving arms. Some teens get it worse than others. Give them all hugs in the meantime.

It is always sad to see parents and children who are not speaking to each other. What problems can not be faced and conquered that could prevent such a situation from existence. Family is important to have in life. The separation of parent and child should not be marred by silence. The lines of communication should stay open for a healthy relationship and a happy one.

Maybe she had planted hatred towards your parents that's why she's not talking to them. Hatred isn't a good thing if you ask me. At the beginning you'll feel powerful and in control but the truth is you are the one being controlled by anger. Plus, it could turn to revenge and it's not a very nice thing. It'll eat you alive and shatter your dreams and goals.

Your is of the age where one is hot-headed. She will realise, in due course, she has erred in her act and will return to your parents. She needs some time and a little bit of exposure to the world to set things right
