Here’s the deal: my ‘baby’ sister is getting married in September. She lives in another state.
She has expressed how excited she is to see ALL OF US.
Obviously this will cost a ton of money … airfare for 5, renting car, hotel room all in the span of a weekend.
Topping it all off, SIL’s sister is also getting married in December.
Then SIL’s big family is expecting all of us for the holidays.
All these events are out of state.
*note: My sister has SA and battles depression.
SIL and brother were thinking that perhaps it will come down to just ME attending her wedding or me and my brother.
*on our side of the family, it is very, very small. Grandparents are in their 90’s and on East coast, mom is deceased and father is in Florida and when sister told him, all he said was “congratulations” and dropped it. So essentially, it’s just me and my brother who will be ‘family’
Then to top it off, SIL doesn’t know if she will have job come August. School district is already assessing another round of major job cuts. If she ends up losing her job, nobody is going anyplace.
What this rant comes down to is: Do I tell my sister that I may be the only one attending her wedding now or wait a couple months?
I suspect I should tell her now but afraid to because this will (I fear) throw her into deep depression – as she has been battling depression/anxiety.
Life’s little bumps…fun stuff…. :idontknow:
