Am I a fool?

I don't know what to do. I feel bad, not guilty, but torn up.

Should I: Forgive and Forget?
 - : Turn the other cheek, or
 -: allow myself to be walked all over (again)

In 2006 our mother died, and contrary to what all three of us boys believed, she had made out the large lakeside property where we all grew up and loved over to our sister. Sister persuaded Mom that she could not leave the house where she lived on the property. She has no guilt that she has taken a goodly share of our inheritance.

We have not communicated for years. Richard went to her son's wedding, but that was all.

We three boys have failed in our efforts to discuss this with her. Vivian lives in the same town and seems to have a relationship with her. I have phoned her twice in the last year, once when I knew she was coming to England for a month. She wants to visit with us. Do I make her welcome in our home? or meet somewhere else. I am certainly not having her to stay.

She did say that she understood that I might not want to see her, but as Vivian says, she is my sister. I do want to see her. But why?

I need help. How am I going to react to her when I meet her again?
