[quote=Anonymous]I am here to reassure you that it is OK to remain estranged. Not your original question, but sometimes family is not worth it. I recently reached out to an aunt when I found out that a cousin was terminally ill, and, to make a long story short, I now remember why I have not talked with that dreadful selfish woman in years. I don't need or want her in my life, and that means that I don't want her in my kids' lives. This is what I tell my kids if they ask (our kids are younger than 9): we are surrounded by a wonderful group of friends locally and they are our family. I keep it simple. [/quote]
