Rewritten email (Ally McBeal-inspired tone, 42-year-old to 48-year-old sister)

Dear sister, after years of quiet distance I’m choosing to respond now with care. I can’t pretend that private addresses and family information being shared in various circles isn’t troubling. If you’re reaching out or sharing anything, please RSVP with concrete details so I can understand what’s happening and protect my privacy and my daughter’s as well.

With a hope for clarity and calmer boundaries,

[Your Name]
