[quote=Anonymous]I saw this play out somewhat with my parents. My mom's family was/is much tighter knit than my dad's family- growing up we were with our mom's siblings and parents much, much more than with my dad's (albeit I think this has to do more with my grandparents on my father's side being kind of less caring) and my dad's relationship with his sister all throughout their raising kids was loving but just more distant, less face time etc (being less than 45 minutes away too). After my parents divorced, it became the catalyst for a closer sibling relationship there. I am sure there were probably a bit of hurt feelings "Oh, I'm worth the time now that you don't have your bigger/more fun/ blah blah in law family" but I think they just focused on the present and got very close over the last 15 years. I see my cousins on that side now every holiday season (not on actual holidays because of timing) and a lot has to do with that closeness that came from divorce.[/quote]
