Lamoreon,
Here's the deal. People get so caught up in their own worlds they forget about the ones that need them.
It sucks...but
I came from a family that only saw each other on Holidays and that was when we were lucky. So, I got fed up,and started calling them. At first just to say hi,how are you ect ect.
Then I started inviting them over for dinner...maybe once a month.
You do have your "own" family now,but you also need your old family. That is very important.
I know that family members can be stubborn,but sometimes it takes the heart of a woman to lead then in the right direction.....
Good Luck
