So I posted in other threads that I made that I don't really have a close relationship with my immediate family for some reason. I'm not sure what the ultimate cause of it is, I don't know if it's me, them, a combination, or if it's just a coincidence.
I grew up in Flint and I left it around age 22 to move out on my own, be independent, etc. I was homeless for about 10 days during this process, but eventually I got into a hotel, finally got into my industry profession, and it's been nothing but UP ever since then.
When I moved out of Flint, it seemed like the communication level from them just dropped all of the way off. I would go back and visit them on holidays and make telephone calls, but it's like speaking to a stranger almost.
When I speak with my Mother, she doesn't ask any questions about where I stay (she has never asked this, ever) instead she spends time on the telephone just saying how my sisters aren't shyt or aren't really doing much with their lives. In spite of this, my Mother has and still does spend a considerable amount of money bailing the out of various decisions, allowing them to borrow money, etc.
I don't ask them for anything, matter of fact, I have surpassed my Mother in terms of finances (and she's twice my age) and they never really got to the point of living in a Suburb area like I'm staying at currently. I also bought my first new car at 26, my Mother didn't get a newer car until she was in her mid-40's.
My Father was never there, he paid his child support but that was it. I also got established faster than he did, he didn't get established until he was nearly in his mid 30's. Mind you him and my Mother both worked in GM during the BOOM period, and I got established faster than they did in today's age of high student loan debt and a very twisted economy.
You would THINK these people would be proud of me and acknowledge it? But they don't. When I call my Mother to ask why, she just literally SNAPS and goes off, then hangs the telephone up. I call back about 3 or 5 times, and she DOES NOT pick up the phone.
So I never hear from this woman, when I try to ask her questions she slams the phone down and doesn't callback. I paid my way through college, came up from homelessness to the middle class, and there's no acknowledgement of it. But yet, my sisters are still using welfare programs and my Mother STILL bails them out by allowing them to borrow money, etc.
So this year, I didn't call to Flint for Mother's Day. I didn't call my Mother nor go see her. Do you guys think I'm wrong for this? On one hand, I feel like I could try to do X, Y, or Z to make amends, but then on the other hand, I feel totally PISSED OFF because WTF is up with these people? I'm literally alone in the world, and when I call and ask just why we don't have a close relationship I get hung up on? And this has occurred like 5 times, everytime, she just SLAMS the phone down.
