    A completely off topic rant

    I don't know why my family needs to constantly fight and why I have to be dragged into the middle of it. I live 1800+ miles away from my mother, but some how I still seem to end up in the middle of her drama.

    My family is supposed to be getting on a plane tomorrow morning to come spend the week with me. I haven't seen them since Christmas and I've been looking forward to this visit since I bought them plane tickets in February. Now it seems like that visit might be in question because my mom and my sister can't help but act like they are 5.

    My mom got mad at my sister because she didn't jump right up to help my mom when she asked. My sister, who is 17, later asked my mom questions about the plane and what she could bring on it. My mom wasn't very nice in how she answered. So now they are both mad at each other, and my mom won't let my sister come unless she apologizes and my sister wants my mom to apologizes first. Well because they are both very stubborn, neither wants to apologize. I was just informed by my mother that because my sister won't go stay with my father or grandparents, no one will be coming because my mom won't let my sister stay home alone.

    To say their childish behavior has me upset would be an understatement. At this point, I could careless if they come or not. My stepfather and half sister can come by themselves. I really just want to see my half sister. She's only 6 and it's really hard being away from her. I was there the day she was born and really enjoy having her around, even if she is often mistaken as my child instead of my sister (I'm 16 years older). She's also pretty much the only one who shares a lot of my hobbies (i.e. snakes), which might be because she looks up to me so much but I don't care.

    The fact that my mother and sister feel that they can punish everyone because they are mad at each other really sucks. Not only that, but I paid almost $1400 for the 4 plane tickets and I won't get my money back if they suddenly decide not to come.

    Sorry, I just really needed to rant and I can't do it on Facebook where they could read it...

    I'm so sorry.

    Maybe you could talk with your mother and say something like "I want to see you both and maybe just for me, you could put aside this little fight and apologize to each other. Maybe apologize at the same time, so you both "win". I'd really like to see you and I'd hate for this fight to stop us from being able to spend time together."
