when i was a kid a relative suggested i write letters . i wroote letters . no one in fam wrote back relative said blah bla and i pointed out that u didnt write back. sad same relative suggested phone calls . no one returned phone calls . first letters . then phone calls after that emails
now this relative is on a kick of having us checking in on email. hem its almost always me who seems to be doing the dialing.
had a long talk w my late mom about this and she said " its just as easy for the person on the other end to dial." i seem to be talking more to strangers than family. but this is my du fam. thanks

If they're not responding to you then it seem obvious they don't want to communicate with you. If they want to hear from you then let them take the first step.
