I suppose I need to “get over it,” but I can’t.
My husband passed away from COVID in 2021. A year later, after it was safe to socialize, I had a memorial dinner to commemorate him. Not one of my seven local siblings attended. They said, “That was for HIS family.” I didn’t argue or try to convince them that I needed them. It was terribly embarrassing when my friends and my husband’s friends kept asking to meet my siblings.
Healthy people don’t “get over” being abandoned in their time of need. I’m not suggesting that it’s OK to carry a grudge that would further isolate you, but stepping back seems to have been a wise and self-protective decision.Dear Abby: I’m upset my girlfriend is going to be in a wedding for her ex’s cousinI have been dating “Gary” for six years, but he has never proposed. I’m very independent.
