Quote: Lemony_ZesterMy family are so detached from each other. I have 6 cousins. I haven't spoken to 1 since he moved to New Zealand (3 years ago). I haven't spoken to the other 2 on that side since Grandad's death (2003), and I haven't seen the other 3 since Grandma died (1997) and my auntie ran off with my dad's share of her will...
Is this unusual? Do other people speak to their relatives?
i speak to some of my relatives but not many of them.
i haven't spoken to my sister since 2007 and i'm kind of glad as i've had it with her. i sometimes speak to my maternal aunt and my father. i'm too shy to speak to my three cousins (my aunt's three children) but my aunt passes on anything about me to them. i always exchange Christmas cards with my aunt, father and my cousins.
i don't talk to my father's side of my family, although i have nothing against them. i think the last time i saw my paternal uncle was in 1996.
