[QUOTE="Blighty, post: 765877, member: 21991"] LMS you said that you realise your family now is your daughter, 2 oldest grandkids and Husband. Truth! I'm saying cherish them and focus on them. My sibling is the avoidant, absent, withholding, controlling one first to my late Mom who had a serious life limiting illness, and now to my elderly Dad ( and me). To be honest I'm glad that I don't have to walk on eggshells around them anymore because they chose not to have contact anymore (long story) or until they choose otherwise. It really annoys me when my Dad says, have I heard from them? By their very absence they still get my Dad's wistful attention. I really resent that. Of course I understand Dad's feelings and it's very complicated, but it feels like they have a trump card over him. (guilt) [/QUOTE]
