I have basically decided that I will be deleting them as friends as soon as I can. My niece graduated this year, but sadly, because of stupid COVID, there was no ceremony. I would have loved to have gone, but because I have no relationship with my siblings, it is awkward with everybody. I don't know what I could have done wrong to them. All I want are siblings who treat me like a sister and love me. I mean, is that too much to ask for? I'm not asking for money or anything; I just want a relationship. I just don't know what more I can do. I'm afraid that my niece and nephew have to be reminded who I am any time they hear my name or see me.
When I have/adopt kids, I am determined to have great relationships with the entire family. I want my kids to be close to each other. I'm realistic in knowing that they won't always get along, but as long as they love each other and know it, I will be a happy momma. I don't always LIKE someone, but I can LOVE them no matter what. It is hard to love someone, though, that you have no relationship with.

There is absolutely nothing you can do about this. The reason for your depression is not your siblings. They are not the cause of your depression. But it seems you have been able to forgive your dad for the "mistakes" he made...but they might not ever and apologizing doesn't make the mistakes go away.
The main thing is that you should stop blaming them for your depression and accept that your relationship with them.might never be what you wish it would.
