I always bought my sister's kids' presents for all holidays, and birthdays up until the age of 18. I am hurt, because my kids have nothing to do with the estrangement, yet, the two sisters didn't send anything, not even a card or text message to them. My family is the least wealthy. These sisters are very well off, and it hurst because I know they had a huge celebration with exteneded family and bought presents for kids who are not even related to them. I am happy most days to not have a relationship with them, as it was a negative one, hurtful, and they play "games." I was okay, until the neglect of my children were invovled. I cooked dinner for my own family, and it was just us, sort of depressing, but okay at the same time.
