Goodbye siblings? Pity party of one?
I seldom hear from people in my family unless I call them first. After surgery my 90 year old mom was the only one to keep regular contact with me post hospital. They are usually pretty busy so I try to keep up with texting to let them know how I'm doing and stay on top of the family news. My sister and brother have phone phobia and I get it but it just boils my potatoes when I text one of them and they don't even bother to answer a text. This anger and resentment at being an afterthought was building up in me and a big trigger for me to want to muffle it with drink. They all knew I was going for a respiratory check up and nobody asked how it went. So how to cope with these feelings is the question.
