A family member planned an eight-day visit during a family artistic project but the host prefers shorter visits. The host values alone time and has limited mobility due to an injury. Although the visitor's intentions are good, the host anticipates challenges due to previous experiences with long visits. The host must convey the need for a shorter stay to avoid discomfort while considering feelings. Honesty about boundaries is crucial for family dynamics and maintaining peace during visits.
Your sister already offered you the out when she asked if you wanted her to cancel the trip. So, it's fine to circle back and take it, or a version of it.
From your letter it seems that your sister is trying to find compromises and alternatives that keep everyone happy. So, tell her what you need.
You have a history of friction, but being clear about your boundaries is essential for maintaining healthy relationships.
Express your limits on visits honestly. A simple conversation can alleviate stress and prevent misunderstandings.
