Dear Abby: She sent me this four-word text, and we haven’t spoken since

DEAR ABBY: My sister “Elaine” and I live in different states. Until last year, we were communicating by phone and text.

She and her family were set to visit me, but all of a sudden Elaine stopped responding to my texts and phone calls. I finally texted her asking if she was still planning to visit. She texted me back four words: “No. We’re not coming,” and we haven’t communicated since.

This isn’t the first time my sister has cut me off. Usually, after a few months of silence, she will call me and act like nothing happened...
