[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, there are other people or things more important for her this visit.  Doesn't make her the uncaring person you are painting.  Take a deep breath and step back, you are being incredibly self absorbed. [/quote]

I don’t think she’s an uncaring person at all. Fully realize that I’m also not the only relative / friend she has in this area. But yes, would have hoped to have been on a short list for some time with her outside of an event where I think more than 50 people are in attendance. Certainly if the roles were reversed I would have made it a priority to see her. But I am recognizing that I may be overestimated my place in her life … which is ok. I appreciate the perspective of the other PP who suggests I don’t burn a bridge and go to the gathering.[/quote]

I posted already, but I wanted to point out -- she is staying with people you don't know well enough to visit their house (?!) which tells me she has a ton of family and friends in this location who are not you.  If she saw you in a neutral location or if you went to visit her, I'm sure she would be thrilled to spend time with you.  Why don't you schedule a trip to see her, in her town?[/quote]
