After a lot of conversations with family members (and her boyfriend) and me actually having a conversation with her, I *think* things are going to start to mend themselves. I'm still not going to reach my hand out all the time and she's on "probation". Jonathan is sticking by me which really got her thinking about it... she doesnt want to lose the relationship that she has with her brother but he told her that her ridiculous behavior would not be tolerated.
She pulled me aside this weekend to talk to me about it. We talked for about 2 hours and we both vented about several things that we have problems with. Once all of it got out, it was a little easier to talk to her... There were some things that she was upset about and I had no clue about them so it helped that I knew about them. They were things that I was saying or doing that really bothered her but she never said anything about it, instead she would act in a way that really started to make everyone mad.
So while things arent solved and nothings perfect, we're taking steps to have a peaceful relationship in the family. Hopefully things will start to change and we can have a relationship without conflict.
