📝 AITA: Sisters

Here's the breakdown: We are 3 sisters. My 2 sisters live 22 miles from my father. I live 750miles from them. My sisters make NO effort to visit my father and stepmother. My father remarried after my mother passed away. My stepmother is a lovely human. So there is no reason for them to treat my father and stepmother as they do. I don't visit my father often, just because it is very far away and expensive. We try to see each other twice a year. We do speak weekly. We are very close.

I recently came to visit my father, my sisters know I am here. I have not heard anything from them - they have not asked to see me. Honestly, I don't care. It hurts my father though, he wants his children to be close. But I am done trying to be the bigger person and reaching out. AITA for not reaching out to them?

Edit for context: My mother use to babysit the grandkids ALL the time my stepmother does not. She loves the grandkids, but my dad is her priority. My dad & SM invite them for visits ALL the time, they never visit. Basically, my sisters only pitch up when they are getting something out of the deal. They are pissed off at me because I refuse to pick sides - my dad and SM have ONLY been good to me. But I don't expect them to take care of my kids or give me money.
