Mary, I'm sorry that you and sweet Creamsicle had such an unpleasant experience!

Yes, the situation with my sister is painful. I don't see her very often, and when she's coming here (to our hometown), her hubby is always with her, and when he's around, she's not talking to me. They act as if they find everything I do or everything I'm interested too silly to even talk about it. I always feel so stupid when they're around. I feel they don't respect me as a person, but I think it's coming from my BIL.
