My older sister and I are on the outs. How do you fix it?

We had a disagreement over something the simple fact that I felt that I was having a bad day and she came up with this stupid analogy and I was like... what? what does that have to do with this?? She said I needed to be on a antidepressant... I told her its a bad day... it will pass... no big deal. People have them. I wasn%26#039;t freaking out or anything ... good grief. I told her as usual, I don%26#039;t agree with her. She got an attitude and hung up on me. Then she sends me this nasty letter and I sent her one back. Its been two months now. I do miss her but she is a little miss know it all... she never shows me any sympathy... and she brings up things from the past that I prefer to stay in the past. She thinks she is helping people when she offers them all this advance. I heard she was in the hospital a few weeks ago and I sent flowers. She sent me a text saying thank you but that was it. I was hoping we could fix this. That was my olive branch... any suggestions?

just call her already. family is very important and you shouldn%26#039;t let something like a silly argument come between the two of you. i guarantee you that she misses you just as much. sounds like you%26#039;re both being stubborn
Reply:oh wow, it sounds like your sister may be a bit jealous of you, but she really dose not mean any harm it%26#039;s just that as a big sister sometimes, you see your younger siblings not going through all the hard things they may have had to go through being the oldest, as the oldest child in my family i know, but that dose not mean she dose;nt love you she just has issues. in time she will come to her senses and make up with you don%26#039;t worry, just try to get along as much as possible.
Reply:You made the first move. It is up to her now to swallow her pride and make amends. I have gone through the same thing with my younger sis quite a few times. And I have found that once you extend the olive branch, then it is her turn to extend one.
Reply:Give it time.
Reply:Only you and your sister can fix it. It takes a b ig person to apologize but you%26#039;ll feel much better when you do.
