I just found out my boyfriend’s sister is going through a hard time mentally she is dealing with some health issues as well as a couple other things. My boyfriend and I have been together for over four years and I don’t have a relationship with his family at all, we barely speak. They know pretty much nothing about me aside what they ask my boyfriend.
Me and her don’t have a relationship either if I see her we may have a brief conversation but not really.
I’ve reached out a couple months ago when she was having surgery and it went okay. I have tired, I usually wish her a happy birthday just little things to try and build some type of relationship. She doesn’t at all, she left me on read last year when I told her happy birthday. she doesn’t reach out at all, nor try and build some type of relationship. I deal with mental health myself so I understand what it’s like to just go through a hard time.
I seriously don’t know what I should do, or what l should even say. I also don’t want to over step some people are weird about people knowing if they are struggling mentally. please I really could use some advice.

Does your bf have an opinion? Seems he would be rhe best judge. I think it would be nice to reach out but as it’s his family, he would be the one to ask.
