TOP TIPS FOR SISTERLY LOVE

- by Linda Blair

If you’ve lost touch or have a tricky relationsh­ip, approach her in a non-judgmental way and do so from a distance initially. Maybe send an email or oldfashion­ed card with a message such as ‘It’s been so long and I miss you.’

You feel slighted? Take a step back and try to imagine her point of view. Is it possible that you’re being over-sensitive?

Fallen out over parental responsibi­lities? Communicat­e regularly about their care. Try to avoid taking a martyr role.

It’s not realistic to expect others to change. Know their limits and work within them
