I just alerted my brother I will no longer talk to him.

37. It has been 7 years since I've spoken to my siblings.

It had nothing to do with Trump, even though one of them is a Trump supporter.

I was wronged by them in the care giving process during my mother's prolonged dying process. They ignored her, I didn't.

They know what they did, they know it was wrong. But they won't apologize. They are the type of people that literally cannot say "I'm sorry". One of them puts up a charade with her friends and pretends that we are still in close contact. The other slimes me with untruths behind my back, that I won't bother to rightfully refute.

The estrangement changed my life, but I don't regret it. So I am writing here to let you know that I understand, and I'm sorry. It's a slap in the face when you realize that you never had what you thought you did. The act of taking a firm stand, however, kind of negates the emotional turmoil that comes with all of this. You will become a stronger, changed person. You know yourself better than anyone. Do what your heart tells you to do.

I'm just relating my experience here. Don't listen to the people that may come out of the woodwork telling you that you need to work it out. Do what your heart tells you, because you are the only one who knows.
