I just wrote an email to my youngest nephew
 

I wrote him an email yesterday and was very positive about the pictures he sent and said how it looked as if he looked weight. I told him how my eye exam went great and my doctor scared my into thinking I was going blind because he mentioned blindness and diabetes. He didn't answer. today I further wrote since I didn't get an answer that he had to under that I was mentally ill and had my diagnoses and he had to understand and a true Jew would. I probably won't hear from him again.It is sad. He iis always telling me to be positive.

I don't think it was a bad idea to send him another email. I do that sometimes with people I know who are not very good at keeping up correspondence and it lets them know that I care. I also don't think it was a bad thing to let him know how your diagnoses effect you. You may have gotten a little aggressive in the end there tho with the religious comment… but I don't know him, so I really don't know.

I hope that he is understanding and you do hear back from him soon :hug::hug::hug:

I forgot I also wrote him that that was probably why my family cut me off. how painful. He hasn't written back. the whole thing is painful. am I supposed to just compliment him on his boys and their trips and leave it at that and not include me. I don't think so

he wrote me and said we love you. I wrote back and said he was brave and went in depth about generalized anxiety disorder. then I wrote him and said II saw him on cnn analysising the 666 building

My sister has treated me very badly lately… not calling before the surgery, or calling after to ask how I was doing, not acknowledging (forget about thanking me for) presents/cards sent to my nephews, not answering texts, etc. So, I texted her, "When you blow me off, you make me feel like a piece of ****." Her response was lame (she wasn't blowing me off), so I didn't bother to reply. At least I felt better after letting her know how her behavior effected me.

I'm glad that took the time to let your nephew how his lack of responsiveness makes you feel, and he finally wrote you back to let you know that you are loved :hug::hug::hug:

I would never share anything about my mental health with her, but think that is the response that I was looking for.

that she loved you? he keeps on saying be positive. I wrote this time in depth that my illness prevents me.I wonder if they really do love me.don't we have to speak up? do you love her?

I do love my sister, and my whole family, but I don't speak to them much. When I do hear from them, it is through texts. Everybody is always "too busy." The only family members I actually talk to regularly are my father, who I have good reasons not to, and my husband's father, who is a doll.

The people who used to hold my family together have all passed away.
