I responded down thread, but I am really going thru something similar.

My sister called me yesterday morning. I had only been awake for about one minute when I heard the phone. I picked up, she started talking about some plans later in the day, I was confused - asked a question about the time - and she blew up. Totally irrational. Slammed the phone down on me and hasn't answered since. The hard part is that I took the day off to take my niece and nephew to a special exhibit that I had been promising to take them to for over a month. It was my gift to my nephew for his birthday. She never picked up the phone and I found out through my mother that she took the kids without me yesterday. I've been heartbroken and intermittently crying about it ever since. I just could never imagine treating anyone the way she sometimes treats me. It is beyond cruel.

Edited to add that she launched a similar attack on me a few years ago just before my birthday. She took my birthday gift back and has never given me so much as a card for my birthday since. And we have our birthdays in the same week. It's so hurtful.
