Family ghosts

[JP8810]

What do you folks do when you get 'ghosted' by family members?

I'm looking for some advice.

I don't know if this is healthy (or even advice) but I've 'ghosted' just about my entire family. I'd rather look towards things and people that can help me grow and live a meaningful, well-lived life than get hung up worrying about what might be from people who just can't be bothered to give a damn.

If they are important to you, reach out... then find something worth doing while waiting for a reply

I moved on. Maybe not the right solution but it is what it is. Years later she talks to me like nothing is wrong. Everything is water under the bridge but I haven’t really forgotten. For her “family is always family”. I don’t have any other peeps so I just take it for what it is.

Families are definitely tricky! Thanks for sharing.

Families are so difficult! Anything you can do to focus on positive people in your life or positive activities may help. It's hard and I've even considered writing a book called, "My Fucked-up Family" - haha. I've just learned that some people aren't worth my time. Who and what brings you joy? Go towards that if you can.
