Question?

If I’m the only one reaching out to certain family and friends; and sometimes get no response; and the majority of the time I don’t hear from them unless I reach out;

Should I stop? I try. I always check in.

Especially with one family member in particular I thought I was “close” too. And she ignores and doesn’t even respond.

Do I just stop? I don’t feel it should only be my responsibility to keep in contact.

Good point. I’ve tried numerous times now and no response. I’m trying. There comes a point when you just have to stop.

thank you for that worst thing about it is ive done nothing wrong he just lives in a different world sadly.

They’re probably feeling taxed. Maybe wait and call and talk about everything but your health. It ducks to be ill people even family drop you.

Not what you're looking for?
