I got a message tonight from Stud’s brother on FB, asking me to message his GF with my email info….
This made me kind of nervous.
I think its probably just that they are getting married. I’m not sure. As you can tell we have little to no communication with that side of the family at all.

There was no big blow out, or major event that caused it, just little things piling up over the past 23 years to where, we just got tired of the drama. We have started our own family traditions for holidays, with our boys, and are enjoying that. No more getting nervous a week before, dreading what will be said or done. No more feeling as if you were a second class citizen in their presence. No more having to listen to how great the other grand kids are and how your own kids just don’t measure up. Its easier on all of us not to go. The kids enjoyed Christmas growing up, they got tons and tons of gifts. But as they all reached adulthood, each one has chosen not to go. That should tell you something right there.
Recently even FB communication has dropped. For the past year or so, that was the way we kept up with each other. Now, I am pretty much ignored when it comes to everything. Which is why the message tonight from my BIL shocked me. And made me nervous. Especially considering I’ve only met his GF once, and we aren’t linked at all anywhere.
I don’t know what will come of it, but hey, I messaged him back, gave him my email info, and requested the GF to friend me. I’ve done my part. All of Stud’s family know where we live, half of them pass by our house on the way to work, buy groceries, and just about anything else that means leaving their house. We have tons of mutual friends that I see and talk to all the time.
Maybe this will keep them from doing an intervention like they did on one sibling that wasn’t in communication with them. Last thing I need is for them all to show up one day to “straighten things out”.
For now, I’m going back to watching Rugrat rerun’s and escaping for a bit.
