Feeling sad

I wonder how many others agree with this message when it comes to family and friends.  I am also over the treatment by others.  I had my sisters 2 very young children for 9 weeks so that she could recover from her bowel cancer operation.  And yet I have not heard from her at all, I sucked in my pride to ring her and ask if my daughter and I could stay with her the night before I had reconstruction surgery in Melbourne as I didn't want my 18year old daughter alone in a motel the night I was in hospital.  All went well but have not heard from her since.  I sent her two text messages to let her know I was ok, and another to say thanks. Text is a bit impersonal but she screens all her phone calls and lets them go to message anyway.  I have not heard from my brother at all, his wife does call but that is it. Everyone dropped everything for my sister but because I am the younger strong one apparently I can cope.  I even cleaned out my study and put two spare beds for my parents when I had my hysterectomy weeks after finishing radiation.  Only for them to not come at all.

And my neighbours across the road, good friends of 12 years have not come near us??? I have stopped waiving as they drive past.

'Sadly this is so common,  I don't get it, trying not stress over others selfish behaviour.

Spending Christmas on our own.

Love to you Deanne
