I'd love your thoughts on a family matter [View all]
As some of you may remember, in early October, I took a bad fall and fractured my left wrist and my left patella.
At the time, I had my son and daughter in law and her father over for dinner so he saw the aftermath personally.
My left wrist was seriously deformed and my husband rushed me to the ER, where I was admitted and had surgery on my wrist.
In the time since this happened, I have not heard one word, not one word, from my daughter in law's father.
Nothing. Not a text, a call, a message relayed from his daughter.
He took my son and daughter in law and his son and sister to Florida for Thanksgiving. No holiday greetings.
He is quite wealthy and certainly could have sent us a dinner or something when I was immediately post surgical and unable to do anything.
We have tried to have a relationship with him.
We invite him for holidays (we're Jewish, he's Catholic). Most of the time he declines our invitation. He does invite us for Christmas Eve, and we've always accepted and brought homemade dessert and wine.
This year, I'm thinking we'd skip it. I'm really pretty hurt and insulted by his total lack of concern about my injury and recovery.
What do you all think?
BTW, I'm improving pretty well. I still have a brace on my knee so I can't drive, but the fracture has pretty much healed and I've started pt.
My wrist is a lot better, no cast, brace or splint. I can dress myself, I've started cooking again.
Thanks for your input.
