We were chatting through Instagram but i lost my account so we movved to messanger and I tried to text her something simple two days ago and she still hasn't even seen it. I saw she was online. Im worried she's mad at me or overwhelmed by parents or hiding something. Im worried. I could escape but she's trapped with parents.

Also she has a birthday on 17th feb and I wanted to ask her if she wants me to come but she's not seeing

You’ve mentioned that you haven’t been communicating with your sister because of your own triggers, so she may well be upset. Teenagers are often moody at the best of times and she may indeed be overwhelmed with school, parents, her upcoming birthday, friend issues/social drama, trying to plan her future…

May I ask if you told your sister that you’re sorry for your silence? Just a “Dear Sis, I apologize for not being in touch. Life has been crazy and I lost track of time” kind of thing? Then tell her how much you’d like to be there for her birthday to reconnect. If you just ask if she wants you to come, it might sound as if you’re looking for an excuse not to be there. If she says she thinks it might be too complicated if you come because of the family problems, follow up with an invitation to come see you. Maybe even suggest some dates so she knows you’re serious about wanting to spend time with her.

Your family has made it so hard for you and your sister to know how to have a healthy relationship. Try to take whatever response you get in the kindest way you can since tour sister is struggling, too.

I hope your sister’s birthday gives you two a way to enjoy some time together, whether it is at her house or where you live.

😭 Sounds so sad. My life is. I didn't silence her or anything, if she called or texted anytime i would pick up, just she didn't and i didn't initiate a call neither but tried to text

I misunderstood. I thought that you had been not answering her messages as a way to manage everything with which you have to deal.

It IS sad, tragic really. It's terrible when you're in a situation where you have no winning options.
