RELATIVES THAT TOTALLY IGNORE YOU

Tweet

Back in 1997, my mom died due to stomach cancer at age 57, 6 years later my dad died. I am an only child and with two grown daughters of my own, I realize that family is very important. So over the years, whether it would be on social media (Facebook) or email, or a phone call, I would try to keep in touch with aunts, uncles and cousins. It did not work out the way that I had hoped. Instead of saying hi or do you want to come over or any type of holiday greeting, I get met with silence. So last week, I wrote a letter to my uncle and calmly stated how I felt about being ignored and feeling unwanted. I was then confronted by his youngest son on Facebook, in a private message, that the letter was nasty and vindictive. When in all actuality, it was just speaking about how I felt about their actions towards me and even included an invite to our new home for a BBQ. So I did the next thing, I unfriended all of them, since they never even talked to me on FB and have decided to focus more on my own family and my life right now. I have plenty of close friends that would help me on a moment's notice and I don't need relatives that are full of themselves.
