Shalom. We've messaged each other before, a while ago. I'm the Hungarian living in England. Not married, no kids, and my only relative is my mother, who is frail and in her late 80s and lives with me. This is my take on it for what it's worth. I apologise in advance if it upsets you, so if you're not in a good place, don't read it.

I would give anything to have a family. All my celebration dinners and events were with my parents. I've never been on holidays to visit anyone. Or had birthday cards or presents. Or been for a meal out. Or gone to a wedding or a funeral. I've just had my mum and dad. And for the last 13 years, just my mum. I realise our lives are very different and none of this changes what happened to you recently or in your childhood, but if it were me? I'd ignore it. I'd let it pass me by without a comment, because it wouldn't matter to me. A careless comment on social media should not lead to a rift that leads to a life like mine with no one. Don't look for apologies or explanations or understanding. Everyone has their own ****. You have what you have, they have theirs. But they're YOUR FAMILY. I realise I've idealised one given my own background. And many people on this site have one they never want to hear from or see again. I get that. But let it slide, chill and enjoy your own life. Just my thoughts. Good wishes to you all.
