On my Mother's side of the family we were all very close growing up and had family reunions every two years at one of their houses, and then there was a rift and my Mother bore the brunt of her older sister's accusations, which were unfounded, and it stayed ugly for many years, I spoke with my estranged Aunt for the first time in over 15 years last year at the funneral of my Great Aunt. First time I had seen anyone from My Mother's side of the family for many years.

But I set myself up for disappointment everytime....  But I try to hang on too wishful thinking. Hoping one day they will change and actually care about someone, not how much they are worth.      LadyBathory9 wrote:   Thanks Girls and HI!
