I’m coping with sadness and anger from being written off by my family. The bottom line is I am of no value to them. I’m the only one upset about this rift. They simply will never call me again. I acted reasonably and wished happy birthday to my sister in an e-mail. She wrote back thank you. But that’s all I’m getting. Mom told my husband that I can call her as long as I move forward and never bring up anything from the past. So I’m not calling her. So I just have to cope with estrangement.
