Cherylyn Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 If you were estranged from your local sibling due to a false accusation of them calling you a blatant liar and she invited you to her annual house party, would you ignore by not replying? We've been no contact (NC) for a year. Last year, I RSVP'd "NO" on a plain postcard yet she continues sending me annual postal invitations to no avail. Or, would you RSVP "NO" every year? Or, would you write on a postcard: "No reply = NO / non-attendance / decline to attend and a reply = "RSVP: YES" Thank you enotaloners. Btw, there is never an offer of a humble, sincere apology forthcoming in a million years. ☹️ Link to comment
Willowgirl55 Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 Refuse to engage by not responding at all. I've had NC for 10 years now from both my half-sister and brother and believe me NO response is a better response . It works . 1 Link to comment
LootieTootie Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 If she hasn't apologized and wants to act like nothing happened, then politely decline by ignoring the invitation. I also know people like this who will say hurtful things and never apologized. Sadly a few of them are my family members too. So I totally get it. 1 Link to comment

She hasn't apologized, doesn't have any intentions to ever apologize and acts like nothing happened. She acts like this all the time which is the norm. ☹️ She also gaslights by twisting it around on me instead of her taking ownership and responsibility for what she's done. Typical of her. 😡 Link to comment
Kwothe28 Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 Just RSVP "No". I would possibly think differently if its something way important like her kid wedding or something. Because I believe people can leave a side their personal spat for that. When my friend got married he wanted to invite his brother because he believed his brother is still family no matter their personal fights and that he should be there. His brother still didnt want to come but he is really troublesome personality. But for big things like that, maybe you can set aside your beef. For small stuff like "house party"? Nah, there is no need to. 2 Link to comment
tattoobunnie Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 People with this Cluster B personality will send them until you finally say "yes." Then they file that info away on how many times it takes. I would just toss in the trash. 1 Link to comment
