A part of me thinks that we don’t choose who we are in family with, so it doesn’t matter if the relationship dwindle.. What is your experience?
Any of you no longer in contact with your siblings? How is it in the long run?
Family/ParentingMy brother doesn’t give a fuck about me and I got tired of trying to carry the relationship. I am also not very fond of his wife who… idk how to explain it, I tried to be her friend many times and she was never interested so I have given up entirely. You can only reach out so many times and offer help, send gifts and money, and still get no inclusion or participation in anything at all.
It’s sad because I don’t know if my brother has ever messaged me just to ask how I am or what’s going on with me even if I haven’t reached out in months. It’s also too bad I don’t really have a relationship with my nephews but it is what it is at this point 🤷♀️ there was never any interest
Same here with both of my brothers and their wives. They have zero interest in me or my life. I stopped trying years ago when I realized I was the only one putting in any effort. It bums me out sometimes. I try to stay in touch with their kids, especially once they’re out of high school.
It seems like this is more common than I realized, I am sorry for us all ❤️
