Hatred

Yesterday we celebrated our father's 90th birthday.
We celebrated without him because, as you may know, he died on 29.11.2025.
All his children and their families were gathered around a large oval table, there was plenty of food and we talked about all sorts of things, but no one said a word about the reason we were together, none of us mentioned our father.
After my biological sister had left with her family,
I asked one of my stepsisters, who was visibly uncomfortable, what was going on with her.
That's when all the hatred she had for my biological sister came out. I guess that the cause of her hatred was her deep hurt.
And if my perception is correct,
this hatred is mutual.
There will be no other meeting like this.
The depressing end of a seemingly peaceful family reunion.
