Well you can simply tell her that you miss her and want to see her. Let her know that she is a big part of your life and it seems pretty empty when you dont see her. Maybe she will start to understand. I have a younger sister and I had no idea how big of impact I have towards her and that sometimes she just wants me to spend a whole day with her. Tell her that it is also important that you see your niece and nephew. They are part of your family and you want to share your love with them. If you want you can even plan a date for her to come see you. Search for a plane ticket for her. If you actually take part in trying to get her to come see you then maybe she will realize that she is wanted there.

When you say it to her say it in a tone that's at a good level,that you would love to see her,that she should think of her own family too,that's it's been years that you,the other members of your family haven't seen her,she can't be selfish,not think of others,say how much you missed her ,she'll start to get this in her head,also that if her husband really loves her he'll let her visit her family.

Tell your sister how much you miss her, email her, write her a letter, etc.

You could even tell her how much you've been thinking about old times- include a few stories to make her realise how good being close was.


HOWEVER, when you tell her how much you miss her, don't emphasise how much it hurts that she sees her husband's family, because that might make her feel like you're attacking him.
You need to make sure she knows that you've accepted their relationship and that you're willing for him to share a little bit of the closeness you used to have as sisters.

Good luck! xxx

well i had the same problem with my ever so obedient sister who done whatever the old ball and chain wanted to do on his few days off a year.I got tired of begging her, so i wrote him a letter and told him how much it would mean to everyone for them to be at my mom and dads ann. party and how depressed everyone was without them every holiday, and how she really missed being back home, and wouldnt it be nice to suprise everyone if we could make that happen, by the time i was done i had him thinking it was his idea. guilt trips are great huh. you could even offer to babysit while they all go out for the evening like they used to. thats my advice honey,i hope it works out 4 u 2 oh yea did i mention my sister and her family live just a few miles away now. lets just say that i spent alot in postage stamps to make that one happen.
