[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Come from a fairly large family (all adults now) and I was recently in the hospital with a sudden serious health issue, currently out of the hospital but I suspect I'll be going back in for follow up procedures in the near future and my long term outlook is unknown. During this time a couple of my siblings haven't even bothered to make contact to see how I'm doing or even do something as simple sending a text message.

I'm not looking for anyone's sympathy but I find it strange that a sibling would be so non caring. Other sibling feels that as long as the others heard the news/updates, there's no real reason for contact.

To be honest I'm a little discussed with them now and find it hard to keep a normal relationship with them. Am I wrong to feel this way? They seem pretty pathetic to me right now.[/quote]

I called my sibling after he lost his job (again). They have kids and he seemed to also be having health issues (mental kind - he told another family member and write some about it on Facebook) and you worry about the stress on them. So I called, wanting to offer whatever they needed - dinners, babysitting, even money if they needed it.
My SIL told me it was none of my business and hung up on me. I only got one sentence out and that was it. My brother then said that that was the last time he tells anyone anything.
Um, so, next time something happens to them I won't be calling them.
Has anything like this gone down like this in your family? Any bad juju? That could be a reason? [/quote]
