Just curious
My mother and I used to argue a lot. Still would if we were living under the same roof.
I only talk to my brother and sister when I want something, or unless we're all under the same roof together for some reason (eg: Christmas day).
If family member's don't have any use to me, then I can't be bothered with them.
Oh, my poor parents! I sure caused them grief. Psychiatric treatment, having to move out of a rent controlled apartment because of my behavior in the neighborhood. I won't go into details. But they must have suffered plenty. They are both dead now and I only have a sister whom I occasionally write to.
