    You could try to ask your brother why she seems “shy” around you?

    You can use another word instead of “shy”, and don’t use a negative word.

    Goq, I would suggest that you DON”T send anything in writing that she can show others. It is better said in person or over the phone. And it is better not elaborated on until you give her an opportunity to tell you what is bothering her. So just asking her what’s wrong, or if you owe her an apology just to get the conversation started might give her an opportunity to start talking.

    The more I thought about this the more I think you should just leave it go. I dont know your niece but if you think she is mature enough not to show it to everyone she knows then go ahead and write it but if not then just forget the whole thing and move on.

    Yogi- why are you concerned?

    When we are together they huddle together and exclude me altogether

    What a sad situation. We all really feel for you. Whatever the reasons, and remember we dont know all the details, you are hurting and understandably so. Its not even as if you are spaced out any longer…:-)

    But seriously, if your siblings do treat you as the baby and huddle together without you then is it any wonder that your niece has picked up on this and avoids you also? She’s only copying them. They could be the problem here. You’re lucky your other nieces and nephews dont act likewise.

    Let me ask a very important question. Do live near or far from this niece? Meaning does she see you often or rarely? Does she see the huddle against you often or rarely? Do her parents talk about you in her presence? Is there anyone that could act as a go between to speak to her briefly, cos if you send the letter it could make her embarrassed and much more distant, but she does need to know of your discomfort with her behaviour.

    Wishing you only a happy life and may you find your Bashert soon which I’m sure will help both of you!

    I agree! May you find your bashert soon…. I think you should try and just give your niece her space she might feel like you smother her for some reason.

    thank you amichai for sticking up for me!

    The Goq,

    Is there anyone who knows your family who you could ask advice from, such as a rov or rosh yeshiva? I feel that it’s not for we in the CR to advise in such a case, since the proper course of action depends very much on knowing you, your niece, your brother, and, very possibly, your sister-in-law and other family members.

    It would seem safer to remain quiet about it, and certainly not to put anything into writing, unless someone wise, who is familiar with the situation, advises you to.

    Good luck, and just keep in mind that your “virtual friends” are feeling for you.

    shlishi- I just read your post. thank you for that…I could use any luck that I can get! my uncle is not a constant issue- he just makes me nuts when I see him- he awakens all my senses….and makes me throw up when i get home and think about it! And the manager- yes I could use help with that on a DAILY basis!

    adorable: What does your Aunt think of your Uncle awakening those senses? And what goes on with the manager?

    Pac-Man- the manager is too long to write about over here but i think my aunt is plain old dumb and thinks its cute. when she married him we were very close but then i got bigger and things change…. He used to go around telling his friends that I was his first wife until this other lady came around

    Sorry, forget it. I just saw a post from you saying you and some store manager became close to each other and you regretted it even though you are still close to him.

    Mods i think something inappropriate is going on here perhaps you should put a stop to it, pac-mans actions have crossed a line and his account should be banned imho.
