[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there a social norm on this? Say you haven't spoken with your uncle in 8 years and he drops dead at 72. Your siblings and cousins plan on attending the funeral but you don't. Would you attend?[/quote] This will be in my future with my father, who I have not spoken to in over 20 years. And I have good reasons for it. He's in poor health yet, like most awful people, is hanging on and sucking the life out of those around him. His wife occasionally contacts me to re-start communication but no thank you. I have thought long and hard about what I'd do and I will not be going. I mourned the father I had, and the one I wished I had and saw in other families, decades ago. I feel nothing towards him and don't feel like paying respects to someone who doesn't deserve it. Sounds harsh but, if you knew him and how he treats people, it's not. [/quote]
