Family Vent!!! Might be long

So last year I moved away from my family. (I lived in Mount Pleasant, MI now I live in Ann arbor, MI) I was very close to my mom and gramma when I lived near them. I went to my parent's house everyday, to my grandparent's house at least once a week. When I was having anxiety about moving away from family, they all said don't worry we will come and visit often ( to shop, no malls in my hometown...farmer town...lots of corn). Now they promised to come down in june for this art fair Ann Arbor has every year...it's a big deal....they made an excuse at the last minute, which made me sad , but hey things come up(come to find out it is because my mom is going to Virginia to visit a friend...come on I live two friggin' hours away). Then they came down in August and came to visit...... for five flippin' minutes!!!!! I was very hurt by this, I was so excited they were finally coming to see me and my family and my home, but once again I let it go, I am a pleaser I like to keep the peace. Now yesterday I found out my gramma was coming down to visit and I was so excited, got the kids all hyped up (bad idea, now they are all sad)....did not even call me. I am so disappointed, I have been here a year and they only came over once. I feel so cheated. So I call my gramma and she says I have to go see your aunt to keep the peace (my aunt is one of these people who is just special). What about me, I just wanted you to come over for coffee and a chat, to see the kiddies becausewe really miss you and PaPa. I feel like they don't even care. I am sooooo homesick but now I don't even feel like going home to waste my time on them when they don't even act like they give a d**m about me (sorry, very dramatic). Should I say something?? Or let it go??? I am so pi**ed. Anyway I just needed to vent I feel a little better now, but I guess it is family. You can't pick your family that's why God gives you friends to choose. Thanks Ladies for listening to me rant on about family!!!!

I'm sorry you're hurt. Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon I personally would have to say something. Let your mom and your grandma know how hurt and disappointed you are that they've made such little effort to see you and your family. Maybe you can plan something specific for them to come over- a bbq or something.
