Jim,
You said it right in your first note, She was the oldest, and the one who was always there. (Not quoting).
So, Everyone's expectation's are now NOT being met.
Including your wife's.

I'm living in the same world.
I was the "dynamic" person in the family, the "go to " person, after my mother died.
I helped everyone.

Now, I can't BEG a phone call be returned. I raised my children ALONE, w/ rsd. I haven't heard from them in almost 5 years! I'm hurt, and alone, and, scared to death, truth be told.

You can choose your friends......
Be thankful for that.

Those who don't get it, you just can't force it on them.

I wish I had a magic answer, if anyone does, pass it along?
I've BEGGED people , my children, just to give me a call.
Nope.
I'm too "needy" now or something, I have no idea..
I wish it weren't this way.
But, you and all like you and us, are in my prayers.

Pete
