Re: Dealing with family members...
Well, I would try to remember as far as sending cards and making phone calls that you're not doing it b/c they're nice people, you're doing it b/c you're a nice person. If they want to reciprocate, they can, but just remember that you're being the bigger person by keeping in touch with them. Seek out the ones that do appreciate your attention and definitely adjust your hopes towards the others. Sometimes we get so caught up in what we hope the ideal relationship will be that we lose sight of the reality of the relationship and what it actually is.
