Confused

In 2017 I started a small business of selling hijabs and modest clothes. It was my dream, something I always wanted to do. I was one of the first ones to start selling hijabs online in my city, there after so many others decided to do that. Anyway, so I started it alone and I wanted it that way. After a month my sister made a fuss as to why I didn't include her in my small business. I listed to my family and let her be my partner. In 2018 after I got marroed and realised my father in law had lied when he said he will financially ssupport my husband and I. Because I ran out of money I let my sister carry on with the business. Then came a miscarriage and a very difficult pregnancy then birth of my baby. 2020 I told her a couple of times that I want to join back. She even promised me when she decides to order new stock, she will let me know but she never does. I have to see it on instagram that she has ordered new stock. I started that business it was my baby now just letting it go breaks my heart. I'm still not financially stable but I think about it almost everyday. How I would market the products if I still had the business, what new products I will introduce. Worst part is my family is insisting I let it go.

What do I do? Do I let her have it?

    Try legal way.. or have a heart to heart talk with her. You deserved to join back even tough maybe she will make an excuse that you “gave” her the business. If she still insist to not letting you join. Then maybe it’s just not your rizq may GOD replace it with something better!

    Try to talk to her in a way so she might actually listen to you. She's your sister. You probably know her better than anyone. I don't know much about running a business but maybe you could offer handling minor tasks she wouldn't care for and slowly find your way back into your business. And pray. It's a holy month. If things don't work out then it wasn't meant to be. But don't give up without effectively trying.
