[quote=Anonymous]OP, I say this gently - you’re asking for more communication than your siblings can give. I have an anxious mother who lives overseas, and while I love her very much I do not have the bandwidth to communicate as much as she would like. It is not uncommon for her to text me, email me, and send me Facebook messages all in the same day. I call her every 2-3 days, text daily, and it is still not always enough. I set boundaries so I can work, help my kids with school, and take needed breaks from my phone. When I wake up to multiple messages she sent while I was asleep, it’s a little stressful - I wonder if your siblings have similar feelings. We are all dealing with almost a year of this pandemic, working from home, school from home, etc. Have you ever talked to your siblings about wishing you had a better way to connect? Maybe they’d rather do a weekly or every other week FaceTime than text? [/quote]
