How do you deal with a family that hasn't contacted you about A and OC? My H has 6 brothers and sisters and we have many older nieces and nephews, H is 2nd to youngest so my child are one of the youngest of the group. I have always had a great relationship with them all and I love them dearly and I know they care for me but I can't help but feel a little hurt that I haven't heard for them. Actually I do have conversations with 1 sister and 1 sister-in-law but I have not heard from the rest of them. I know this is an uncomfortable situation but I'm feeling really resentful about them not reaching out to me. I don't want my anger directed toward them but as every day goes by the harder it gets to let it go. I know they care but we were so.... close and to not even send a card to say "thinking of you" hurts. Has anyone dealt with this? Do I call and set up a meeting to get the uncomfortableness over with or wait? Need input!! LJ

lj,
if it was me, i wouldn't call. i know right now you want to know that they support you, and maybe they do, but they're in a hard place right now. they may worry that your h would see it as a betrayal. even though your husband is wrong, he is still their family. i would continue to depend upon your own friends and family. given time, maybe you can reestablish a relationship with them even if you and your h divorce.
(but i hope that your h comes to his senses and works with you to rebuild your marriage instead.)

maybe they are afraid to hurt your feelings.... maybe you should call them first
