Losing Relationships because of the Pandemic
So a good friend of mine, I was very close with her parents. Known them since I was in high school. They almost felt like bonus parents.
But I have not seen them since 2019. I've had a child last year. I don't think they will ever meet her.
I understand they are staying safe, but after vaccines and all that. I honestly think if they haven't been interested in meeting up by now, they never will be. Cause covid is here to stay.
What a weird way to lose a relationship. I've actually lowered my contact because it's too hurtful to send up dates. I thought they'd be like another set of grandparents. But looks like I was wrong. And yes they do see their children (at least my friend, not sure about her brother/his wife and his daughter).
I feel weird about feeling kind of cast aside. Because I guess I never thought it would last this long. I figured they would want to meet my baby at least this summer. But nope. I intellectually understand they are staying safe but I think I'll probably never see them about because of their choice to stay safe.
Not sure my point. I guess I just needed to get this feeling out. And this weird thought in the back of my head that I really wasn't that important to them
