Sister grows distant after woman moves

DEAR HARRIETTE: I’m confused and honestly a little heartbroken. My sister and I grew up incredibly close — practically joined at the hip. We talked every day and leaned on each other for everything, and I always felt like no matter what changed around us, we would stay the same. Ever since I moved away for a new job a few months ago, it feels like our connection has evaporated. I’m the one constantly reaching out, and she’ll respond days later with short replies or not at all. When I visited home recently, she seemed warm enough in person, but once I left, the distance snapped right back.
