My family IS my family and I don't.

Correct. I give a 2 minute chat with Mom on: her bday, Mother's Day, and Christmas. That's it. Not sure how many more. She's 87.

I don't speak with my 3 older siblings. I'll be forced to speak with my sister that lives with my Mom when it comes time to spread Mother's ashes. If, she let's me know.
