"Has something ever DISAPPOINTED you?"

As of this day, I am having a flashback when cutting the tie with my relatives on my father's side before the pandemic. In fact, it is impractical to reminisce past events with them. It is not a serious personal problem, so I just kept on brushing off. I do not want to find favor with my immediate family when talking about them. For this reason, we do not need to make as much attention to them anymore.
Are you close to your relatives or family members?

There is a very, very small percentage of biological family members and relatives that I can even relate to let alone be close with.
I am close with members of my spiritual family from my local Congregation than blood relatives.

@Shavkat My faith is the most important thing in my life. Other than my parents, I have no other family members who are in agreement with my beliefs.
Though I care about my relatives, I can not be close to them at all.

@betlynfrnds I am still lucky to have my relatives on my mother's side. With faith matters, I think we are the same with beliefs.

Today, I am disappointed that my state governor is shutting down gyms for a month to get COVID under control. Grr. I get it, but I Don't. Ugh.
I don't get why exactly you don't like your relatives on your fathers side? Because they are stuck in the past, or what? But I do get that, I don't speak to any of my family members on my father's side, either. I don't care for them. Haha.

My parents both came from big families . . . they both cut ties with their many siblings. I grew up living through all that and understand the drama and the whole letting go thing. Although I see many of my cousins and extended relatives on Facebook, we don't really keep in contact with each other.
