It it time to cut ties?
Okay so let me begin this with my mother and I don’t have a relationship at all like we do not speak to one another (her choice) my father and his wife kicked me out when I was 16 because I didn’t want to watch their kids one weekend. So that kind of gives you a background of our relationship. My father, his wife and I have rekindled since then but I’m beginning to feel like they just consistently let me down. They live in Florida and I live in Kentucky. Anytime we want to see each other I have to travel to them, I’m the one who always calls, it feels as though I’m always the one who makes the effort when it comes to our relationship. My husband and I are expecting our son in October and I was promised that they would be coming to my baby shower but now that I have a date set, they said they probably wouldn’t be coming. They don’t intend to come out when the baby is born and I asked my step mom (who has told me before that when I have the baby she would come out and help me like her mom did her) to come out for a weekend in November so my husband can go on a hunting trip with the men in his family that he’s been wanting to go on for over 15 years and she basically told me that flying here for a weekend isn’t worth it.. that would be the first time meeting her grandson and it’s not worth it? Then proceeds to express to me how my husband shouldn’t be worried about hunting when I expressed that he would only go if the conditions were favorable and that it was very important to him because it may be the last time he gets to hunt with his grandfather. Obviously he’s not going to put hunting in front of his son and I. So anyway, if you were in my position what would you do and how would you react? Do I have a reason to be upset or am I just being overly emotional?
