What do you make of when that person simply never calls you again, like for a year...never? Especially when they were the one who was hurtful to you?

I’ve had this happen from quite a few ‘loved ones’.

I never did anything like that to any one else.

Thanks for your help, guys.

The one sister, who at least I was able to wrangle out a word of empathy when I outright asked her how she felt about it and why she didn’t ever offer one word of support. I gave her a call today, planning on some light small talk to keep in touch, but she didn’t pick up and didnt return the call.

The other sister, I’m just not comfortable to call and act like nothing happened.

Boy, I really did it with straining relationships now. I don’t think I was wrong. It’s just unfortunate, and it sure doesn’t make me look good in anyone’s eyes. This is embarrassing, but I’m venting about it anyway.
