My nephew and his wife had a baby girl a couple days ago. I texted them my congratulations but heard nothing back. I do realize they are undoubtedly swamped.
Im happy for them yet sad for me. I havent much had contact with my family in more than a few years. I hear from my one remaining brother a couple times a year. I fell out of favor with them when I entered a major depressive decade. It was after all my decision to be depressed according to my SIL. Yea right!! Grrr
Because of this attitude the boys and my brother have followed her lead of disdain.
Ive come to terms with not having a family for the most part but stuff like this reminds me of what im missing. They only live 10 miles away so its just annoying. I do not ask them for anything. Im told they are embarrassed that I slid down the socioeconomic scale. They arent wealthy by any means so im not sure what's up with that. My brothers and I had a fairly privileged childhood but that was a looooong time ago.
Im sorry. I just had to rant. At least Im in a better place emotionally than a year ago.
Thanks for listening.
