But the issue is that she makes me feel bad for not being able to fully bond or create an emotional connection after years of being brushed aside and ignored. We live several states away in different time zones so it’s even harder to connect and I’ve outgrown my desire for a connection with her. AITA for that?
NTA - you owe no obligation to her even tho she’s family. The only obligation you have is to yourself, and if she treated you poorly for so long naturally respect has been lost. Unless she shows she is willing to put in effort, it doesn’t seem worth it. Plus there’s no guarantee she’ll keep up with the relationship either
