swers. how do I respond to my sister?

so about 6 years ago my sister got divorce and she remarried about two years after the divorce. since she remarried her behavior with all of her siblings changed. at the beginning of her second marriage I would try chatting with her and ask her about her wellbeing etc.
she would respond weeks or even months later to my messages, but only to ask me annoying questions about decisions I've made in my own life and tell me how I should have done it differently... like did I ask for your opinion.. ?? also not like I was making poor lifestyle choice.

so I stop chatting with her personally, if anything it would be in the family group or if she would personally message me, I'd be straightforward with it.

just now she send me a message saying "so what happened with you not even chatting or calling me.."

I'm too nice to tell her how I feel about her behavior.. I wish I could maintain a relationship with her and be her friend and like an actual sister. but she judges me a lot in the past. 🙁

You could be honest with her. You could say that you miss her presence as a sister but that you felt that she was a little more judgemental of you than supportive. You could explain that you are trying to navigate through your own life and, whilst grateful of guidance, would prefer to be given the space to grow and to make mistakes. You need love and friendship from her, not judgement.
