Elizabeth I’m so sorry this happened to you. It feels to me - even in my already bad-behavior family that things are seeming to spin away. I don’t even know what to call it or how to respond to it. Thanksgiving came & went without a single call to or from ANY family member. No, I didn’t call either mostly because I’m already bruised enough by certain ones - I just let it go. Now I’m ghosting them? Add to the mix? My family is NOT my go-to close folks either. Not for a long time.
I’m going to do some thinking and writing about this situation. What DO I want from this point forward.
As for your grandchild…you can still stay in touch from your end. That was NOT your choice. Either way, I know it’s difficult. Take care of your precious heart too. All the best 💞
