Dear Eric: My sister, who lives about 500 miles away from me, has asked me to apologize for something she perceives I should apologize for. I replied to her to please let me know what she wants me to apologize for and she pivoted, without answering, saying she would not let evil into her house but then continues to send references to a young man in her neighborhood that may have committed suicide or devastating weather that has destroyed houses near her. It seems she wants to set borders for what she wants to talk about. I feel like I’m walking on eggshells. This is hurtful and bothers me a lot. Any suggestions?
