[quote=Anonymous]My sisters both live on different continents, and I live in DC. When the events were unfolding on Jan 6th, I texted them (our usual way of contacting each other, given the time difference) in a panic with my concerns over what was happening. I texted several times between 2 and 6 pm our time that day, and again the next day reiterating that things were crazy, it get scary, etc.

Neither of them replied to me. I never expect an immediate reply, but given the circumstances, and that it was all over the news, I thought they’d respond within a couple of days. Finally yesterday I said something to them along the lines of, I understand your not replying doesn’t mean you don’t care, but it does make me sad.  I was hoping to connect with you over this, you are American, etc. (both are very liberal btw)

They responded something like, sorry, we’re just busy.

I’m upset. I’m disappointed. Putting aside whether you think it’s “reasonable” for someone in my position to be scared by Wednesdays events, I reached out to them and heard nothing back. Honesty even if I hadn’t reached out to them first I would have thought they’d have heard the news and reached out to me.

Am I crazy to be hurt here?[/quote]
