COLDshoulder.

Good Tuesday morning to us all. Have you experienced living in a house where there is cold shoulder treatment between you and another resident? I do, and I am. There is still a cold air circulating in our house. Though my son talks to my sister (but is not apologetic), I reply to my sister when she asks me something, as cold as ice. That is one of my attitudes. If I know I am right, I don’t bend my knees and say SORRY. Maybe in time, I and she will talk as if nothing happened, but I am not a fake person and she knows that. Now, I am hoping it is now August so I can stay away from home. My son is just fine. Once he is doing something in his laptop, I do not disturb him. My sister should do that too, but time and again, she complains of some body pains and aches, like just wanting attention from me and my son. I don’t know when I will have a warm shoulder; maybe December? Or maybe I should wear some sweaters on?

I had to live in the house with my mother in law and sister in law and it wasn't a comfortable feeling. It was my house but I made myself get along with them.

@ridingbet It's really hard but sometimes you don't have a choice. I had no choice because no other options were available, but later they were able to get their own place.

I hope you and your sister will get back together the way it was because it is not a nice feeling having someone you don't feel like talking. I know the feeling because I'm experiencing it every day.

@JustBhem but there is an air of animosity still. her eyes, yes her eyes are envious.

I've been there and it's a hard and awkward situation. Just let things cool down, things will be okay.

@ridingbet if she speaks to you, then yes, you answer. what i mean is if you don't feel like initiating conversation yet, then don't.

@hereandthere she does the first move, always. i am not really compelled to initiate talk with her.

yes, i have to. she spoke first to me last night, and i answered her. "here is the TV remote control, I am going to bed"---that was her dialogue last night.

I feel you Ingrid. It is hard living in the same house where there are a lot of tensions in the air. And at times you cannot do anything because she will complain of this and that and somehow you cannot resist helping her. hmmm.

yes that is so true. we started talking this morning. there were no apologies uttered, it is as if it is normal for us to have animosity, which i dislike.

Having that sort of cold war in the past when I was boarding with a relative of mine. I handed over the rent/board money for a few months in advance already before I was given the cold treatment, so I got stuck there. So uncomfortable!

We do have some cold treatment in the family. But it doesn't last for long.

@ridingbet It could last for a week. We don't talk much if it happens.

@Shavkat indeed, it is so hard to med the fence again. a hole is already present, i believe no amount of patch can bring back what was removed from it.

I think that now you can let it go and try to break the ice. I am sure your sister for a few days will be a little nicer.

@ridingbet I am glad she decided to speak first. I think like you, she will be rude again sooner that she thinks.

@LadyDuck yes, and i should expect that. that is why i believe i have so many discussions here showing my relationship with her, her being the 'antagonist' of our family. so many posts about her attitude. it is in this site that i can pour out my rant and emotions.

she spoke first last night. i hope she won't be that rude in the future, which i doubt it will.
