My husband has a brother who's estranged from the family and haven't seen his kids since they were little (3, 4, 6) and we still sent them a gift when they graduated (as well as birthday cards every year), just to let them know that we were thinking of them and to keep the communication open in case things ever change.
My question is about my husband's other brother and his brother's wife who did not send our son either a card or a present for graduation. This is the only other aunt and uncle my son has, so he was hurt that they didn't acknowledge his graduation AT ALL-not even verbally when we saw them next in person. My husband thinks this is ok, but it was genuinely hurtful to my son and I wondered if others wouldn't send a card or gift in the same circumstances. Thank you to those who answered the question I posed.
Your son was hurt by his uncle, so you are wondering whether or not you should hurt your nephew in retaliation?
Got it.
