[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Once the parents pass away, there are only sibling and cousin relationships to maintain outside your nuclear family. If you don't make an attempt to stay in touch, is it estrangement or just busyness/apathy? [/quote] Estrangement usually involves an announcement or a proclamation.[/quote] Why does it have to involve an announcement or proclamation? I sure don't announce anything, why poke the bear. By all practical means, I'm estranged for sure. If I don't call, she doesn't call. So nobody calls. Or visits. Or interacts. It's like I don't exist if I don't reach out myself. My kids don't exist. I'm certain she blames me for everything, even though she hasn't had the slightest interest in my life at all. I literally just stopped putting in effort and that was that. I call that estrangement.
