Yeah I hate it. I have mostly family on their now and it sucks. I got one half (my Dad's) exercise their "family clan"-ness all the time. I suppose it's not as bad as them excluding me and drawing a very thick line between them and I to my face as they used to, but it hurts nonetheless. On my other half, well they play the "we're always here for you" game to my face but never call or ask me to visit them really. We're invite to birthday parties.. but.. parties are parties. The more people come the more presents they get. They always say that I can always call and come visit. I took them up on that, I called once, got up there once and I thought now this was gonna knock down those walls and after this they were gonna call me now too. Never happened.

I only keep facebook up as a mask. I'll post a thousand pictures giving everyone the illusion that "yes everything is fine here. Happy without you, don't worry about me." I'd love to actually delete my fb.. but then at the same time it keeps my head in reality so I don't go off thinking that their behavior is my fault like before.
