So, among working lots of hours, I also tirelessly try to get my house ready for my Sister to visit for a week plus days. I spent hours/money getting my house ready. Ok, so no one asked me too but I did because she was coming to see her GDs she had been kept from, so understanding this I tried to help since she lives in another state.
She decided to share my business/estrangement with the GD to keep her longer. Basically, in her words "is parallel". How did I know she said something? The GD came up to me after how many years of not seeing her, and tells me, "Thank you for having us, I know this was really hard on you." I think - WHAT!!! I was pissed off. Ya, I was. This is the same sister who constantly tells me not to share her business. I felt the life drain out of me. First of all, helping her never crossed the two situations.
Later, she comes in my room and tries to explain and I say, you shouldn't have said anything, you had no right to bring up my business to a young girl, I don't even know. Finally, she gets snippy and tells me, I shouldn't have opened up my home and walks off. Excuse me, i opened up my home not my business. No, I didn't kick them out, I packed my bag and left to my other house. They finally left. I found a card and little gift. I threw it in the closet. I may regift to her for her birthday. lol. I was so angry.
But guess what, she taught me something, I will NEVER EVER open up my home again (except to my Parents)

Well, your sister might have spilled the beans, but kudos to your great niece - Her mama sure raised her right! Showing gratitude and empathy are good traits to have - You never mentioned how old she is but at any age, how nice to see somebody with some manners.
Your sister should be grateful that you didn't kick their asses out. You have more patience than I lol.
Ya know what I am finding out? The LESS you do for people, the more they like you. The MORE you do for them, the more they resent you! It's fucked up - I'll give ya that - but somehow, for me, anyway - that is the way it goes.
So they are gone, the shitty present is packed away and life does go on. Take heart, she probably won't try to darken your door anytime soon. And if she does, just say NO!

Ha - crappy present, indeed! Which is why I didn't kick her out, the GDs and BIL. You know, I have patience but my motto is: Hit me with your best shot, fire away. Being hit in the cheek, I will turn but I won't extend either cheek to be struck again. A tongue in cheek joke haha. Sunny
