Adam's sister is really hurting him. She only talks to him when she either wants him to read a story of hers, she is bored and wants to small talk (and it is never anything meaningful), she wants to brag about something, or she wants to talk about the website that she is advertising as her own but hasn't paid a penny on. The "How are you doing?"'s are just empty gestures used to start a conversation about something else that she wants, needs, or wants him to do. I know that he is hurt by it. Especially when he called her the other day to tell her that he would be going away for a while. I was sitting next to him while he was talking to her, and not 1 minute after he told her he was leaving, she changed the subject to the website. He said that she didn't seem concerned with him going at all, and she just acted like it was no big deal. He also said that he hopes it's just her way of dealing with it. That's how I know it hurts him. I certainly hope that it's her way of dealing with it too, but based on the last 6 months, somehow I doubt it. I really want to believe that she loves her brother as much as she proclaimed to when we got married, but I am not feeling the love, and neither is Adam. She has borrowed from him, taken from him, expected from him, but never really showed him any concern.
