My feelings are hurt from the family rift that none of them care to repair. But, knowing my calling to see to see my dad for his birthday, was the right thing to do. I realize that even during the times I thought were good, they never actually invited me, rather they told me my sister was coming. I took it upon myself to invite myself and go running, even always picking up their dinner checks. So, probably their ambivalence is unchanged since our rift, and it’s only me wishing they would extend an olive branch and care about me. But they don’t care about me. My sister actually said, “I care nothing about you!” That was three years ago. She meant it. I’m fine because I know I have done the right thing and have no regrets about my actions.
