I think the title for this entry is self explanitory.  I am a woman myself, and I don't understand us...  My sister just had a baby and she's suffering from PP-Depression and has not called us, her family. 

I totally don't mean to talk down about her if I'm coming off like that, but she's always been like this.  When she's "in trouble" or when something is not going her way, she turns away from her family.  And by her doing that, it makes us...her family...feel unimportant, especially Mom.  Her whole life as been us and it really, really hurts her when we don't come to her for our littlest of problems. 

When someone, especially those close, is hurting...it hurts us as if we're the ones going through it.

I've called Sarah, left messages and talked to her and everytime a member of Kevin's family has answered.  Which is totally cool, I'm thankful that they are so close and able to help her, but it hurts when you know she needs help and she doesn't call us...she doesn't keep us involved.  I've offered to come stay with her and she acts like she either doesn't want me there or doesn't need me there.  She's cold & distant!  She's distracted whe I talk to her.  I know she has the baby to take care of, but...  I've dealt with problems like this from all people, but from somone who is supposed family & supposed to be my best friend...

I really don't know how to deal with this.  Should I go ahead and stay with her this weekend and HOPE she's thankful and happy to have me there or do I stay home and wait for her to call me?????  I really don't know!!!!
