  Well, there you have it, Sis. Even though you’re not interested in me or my little family one iota, I wanted to share a part of myself with you that you would not otherwise listen to.

  I love your letter, but it seems to club sis over the head on this part. She spoke to you and shared her
  life, don't assume the things in this sentence. Here's a suggested change:

  Well, there you have it, Sis. Even though these things will possibly seem entirely alien or "worldly" to you,
  I wanted to share a part of myself with you that you would not otherwise not know.

  At first I though absolutely, then I was told about the time cards they use. I found out that all the bible chats were written down like it was work. That offended me, and I decided why encourage this so it came to a crashing end.

  I will not engage any witness, because it gives them purpose.

  I also believe that blood is thicker than water-family first, no matter how nutty it gets.

  I also have issues about gradual fading-although I understand the purpose thoroughly. I hate beating around the bush.

  Best advise-do what you need slowly- a letter is unretrievable-therefore final. Take your time. Good luck.

  It is very well written.

  I tend toward calling people on their crap - you could shorten the first part about her life, make your point in the middle and then tell her about your life. And let her know you're not interested in a one-sided relationship. You could call her on being self-centered and boastful, too.
