the women in the above families are my mother, sister and neice. my mother's husband died 2 weeks ago Monday. although I communicated w/ my sister through facebook from that Monday until Thursday she neglected to inform me that this asshole had died. no loss to me. however, in a sane family these events are reported immediately. true? my sister doesn't tell me until Thursday when she suggests I read my msgs on FB. I came unglued. I told her exactly how I felt. I'm sure it upset her. Not my problem they cannot handle feelings and honesty. My neice hasn't spoken to me in YEARS - b/c my sister shared a confidence that was between her and me. I had my sister, 1 neice and 2 great nephews as FB friends. They removed me from their friends list and my eldest neice wrote me some bullshit letter ON FB! it remains unread. my mother, my sister and oldest neice all married men who cheated on them...a pattern? or is it men in general?
anyway, they are all so self righteous and my sister has never been the same, after a psychotic break 40 years ago plus - due to her then husband's cheating. they have demonized me since 1974 when I lefthome. my dearest friend from 1968 died in February and NONE of them said anything to me. is this normal? am I crazy? are they? are we? and, why are families so effing dysfunctional?
