Your immediate family (mother, father, siblings) is supposed to care about you, right? Even if you live 12+ hours away, you should have the decency to check in to make sure your children are still alive once in a great while. Am I right?
This "family" is so close knit that they cry through my whole entire wedding because they are "losing" a sibling.... that they have only made the effort to call once in the last six months. And when they do call it is because they need something that only benefits them. I don't get it.
On top of that, they have such great concern for their sibling's well being that they take an inside joke not even related to themselves and tell the family because they think their sibling's marital future may be in danger, without even talking to the people involved yet again.
My family that has been ripped apart by a massive divorce, that now exists as no semblance of a family at all, but at least makes the effort to communicate with me a few times a week to make sure I'm doing okay and to halfway know what is going on in my life. I doubt half of them really care, but they make the effort anyways.
How can a family that thinks they are so close, not care at all? And a family that has been pulled apart at the strings communicating better? It angers me, it really does. Especially when I make the effort, and nothing is returned. Maybe this is just how some people are, but it kind of hurts in a way. Sure wish they could see that.
