I was just at the supermarket and saw one of my cousins (the son of the uncle we're having legal problems with). I said hello, not intending to say more than that, and he totally ignored me.
Does it surprise me? Not in the least, especially after his sister also ignored me during a get together in January. It's strange, when we scattered my grandmother's ashes a couple of years ago everyone got on well and now my uncle's kids seem to hate us.
I had already heard there was some drama about a cousins get together in September, I had already decided not to go. In June a daughter of my aunt invited all family to her place and my uncle's kids never let her know whether or not they would come (they didn't). So I think my aunts daughters are also fed up with them.
I'm not going to force contact. It's now up to them if they want any contact with me, which I doubt they want. However, if they want to have contact it doesn't mean I want to, at that time I will see how I feel. If they would contact me now I would friendly but firmly let them know that after the way they've treated me I feel no need to let them into my life.
