Sibling estranged after tbi
Has anyone gone through family member’s cutting off after tbi, my sibling and I decided we’re no longer fit to have conversations with each other. There’s a grey area between interactions she thinks are disrespectful and I find normal questions. I guess it is the heightened impulse to irritability, ex- can you help my mom with something, like have months to work on it, and she cannot be asked it’s like she says things like how dare you ask. A simple no sorry and being civil, but I am being berated. And then days will go by without speaking and I am crying about how the last convos ended. we have been kept in the loop out. She lives far away, i think it’s mild but not sure she won’t give us medical details. Happened in January. My mother tried to visit in march to take care of her, sibling canceled that trip and then my mom went in April. Just for 5 days. This distance from her primary family ( and friends too). We know she still works but doesn’t drive to work. She won’t let me visit ( even if I stay in a hotel) there was always an excuse but she lets her boyfriends family visit for extended amount of time and takes trips with them. I don’t know how much of this is due to tbi or possible manipulation from her bf ( who we have no contact with, during all this he lives with her and has given her family 0 context or communication ). We used to be extremely close, like best friends but no longer.
TLDR wondering if anyone lost a relationship w a family member after tbi after insolvable communication issues, or if it was bc of a personality change..
also I don’t know if this is a right place, to ask, apologies if not.
