i'm feeling rather hurt tonight...i just found out from my mother (who has no tact at all and i have never gotten along with) that my aunt was in my town last week (we live at opposite ends of the country so we rarely see each other) for work and she did not bother to get in touch with me at all! i feel like that's so rude and it makes me feel really rejected and insignificant, especially as i do feel quite a bond with her...u think she would've wanted to catch up, i mean ok, maybe she was too busy or something, but if that's the case why didn't she keep quiet about the fact that she was down here (i.e. by NOT telling my immediate family about it knowing full well it would eventually get back to me) and be a bit more careful in ignoring me as to not to offend??!! i don't know, sometimes i think i belong to possibly the most tactless, insensitive family on this planet (i probly don't, i know, but it does feel that way sometimes!!)
