My husband has been disabled for 16 years and bedridden for 6. After the collapse of the family business, which I wonder if they don’t blame in him, his sibs have completely turned their backs on him. He doesn’t say much but I know he is devastated. No one calls. No one asks about him when I see them (infrequently) at family gatherings. My son is hosting my grandson’s first birthday party this weekend and I told him if he invites them I would not attend.
Be the better person. Don’t engage. They’re idiots. Feel sympathy and not anger. Just smile when they brag and say “How nice for you...”
I hear you. My firstborn never walked or talked.
I took care of her until she died, 2 months short of her 32nd birthday.
