I wouldn't bother meeting her. She already<bleep> up saying what she did. I'd never forget it and just not bother with her nastiness anymore.
I disagree - he should meet with her to see if she is willing to extend the olive branch. This is Christmas after all and a time where we should be willing to forgive. What's the worst that can happen if they meet? They will either reconnect or continue the status quo.
Having read all the posts here and going back to check the ones the OP says are most pertinent I have more questions than ever.
Not that any of it matters, but I will indulge your intrusive questions.

Namely she told me in 2008 "I have adopted two children, but I don't want you to meet them" Needless to say I didn't speak with her for 10 years. I am NOT interested in meeting them frankly, but it's her attitude that makes me not want to even chat with her frankly...
OP, did you and your sister have a big fight or was it just a drifting apart that led to this estrangement? What are your reasons for not wanting her in your life?

This is from post #1. I'm wondering how many missed it.

If I understood you before, she is now saying she did not adopt children, but was fostering them.
Have you considered that she said what she said, not because of anything negative about you, but because she didn't want children she wasn't keeping to get involved/attached to her family?
The only way you can know what she meant is to ask her.
She's older (Obviously) and we both didn't talk about what she said long ago. I'm willing to forget it.
She discussed her job and my job. She explained what she did and I also told her what I did. She was interested in the DNA ancestry and asked me for a swab (She's [paying) so I agreed.
Will we be as close as I am with older? I doubt it, but hey, we're back on speaking terms...
Sounds like that was the purpose of the meeting - to swab you - weird.
Many people are interested in their genealogy. Nothing weird about it.
