Re: In law question- honest opinions needed please!!
In response you basically told her you don't have time for her (even though you make time for the ex) and that she's too stupid to understand what's happening in front of her and remember it correctly.
So yeah. SIL sounds lovely. You sound horrible.
I don't blame her for not wanting to be around you. Why should she come over to your house when you make it so abundantly obvious that you don't really want to interact with her? I can also see how she would interpret your "I like you" email as really insincere.
She isn't the childish one in this situation. Based on your posts and the email exchange her concerns are completely valid. At this point, if you haven't already, you need to sincerely apologize (not like the fake email "apology" that you seem to insist was completely harmless).
I'm not sure why you are having such a time hard seeing why you are in the wrong here. Not only was your behavior bad, your attempt to clear things up only made things worse.
LOL, again.
YOur letter was basically "I like you, but I have no time for you and you're dumb"
I mean, really?

YOu want to know what a genuine response would sound like?
"Kate - of course I like you! I'm so sorry if I've given you the wrong impression. I do admit- I've been really busy at a lot of our family gatherings. It wasn't intentional. I'm hoping that moving forward, that will change. I really would like more of a chance to chat and get to know you better. As far as Lori goes - I hadn't seen her in a long time and was just excited to see her. I'm really sorry that it made you feel uncomfortable. That wasn't my intention. I can see, though, that between my talking to her and NOT talking to you, you may feel I don't like you. But truly- that isn't it. The two situations are totally unrelated. I hope moving forward I can do abetter job of showing you that I DO truly like you! "
And you know what would have been a great way to end it? "WHy don't you and I get together sometime soon? Go out to lunch and talk.".
THAT is a genuine letter accepting someof the responsibility while also trying to explain things. And NOT making her feel like an asshole.
But.... I think I'm wasting my time on this. You clearly have no ability to see things from other people's perspective or how you come across as really rude and condescending.

You come up with new MUD. This one's all played out. You're basically saying the same things you said before. She's nice to you, you're a bitch to her and flat out avoid spending time with her. Same old, same old.
