Good morning and thank you for your reply with a very similar heart- ache. How awful. My niece has never in her whole life called me,the few times I try to reach her she has never answered my call. The few times I then resort to texting a question, she sometimes replies very dryly as if I am a stranger.
The few text lines Thursday night were me asking if I could drop in to see the baby ( not a good time, she said) how about the next day ( don’t think so) how about on the weekend ( oh, I’ll be gone back home by then).
She was 2 miles away all week but could she call to invite me over? She visits her mom ( who is also cold and never contacts me) frequently with my grand nephew, and no one even tells me she is there.
I thought when I moved here in 2018 I would see my sister in law for lunch or shopping sometimes, being we live 2 miles rather than 40 miles away.
But I know now she just doesn’t give a bleep and I was the only one caring about her and her daughter, feelings were not returned to me.
It’s always tough when you first understand that a relationship is really just friendly from your side.
Has happened to me before.
It was so generous of you to include your niece in a business! How callous of her to not return your good deed with loyalty and hard work.
Thank you for your story, helps to not feel like this isn’t just me with this particular relationship break up. She is so selfish she doesn’t even know she hurt me all these years. I will protect my heart from her from now on.
I deleted her info and of course will never ask anything of her again.
This niece has always been like a daughter to me. I don’t understand it. I think maybe she doesn’t understand the concept of me being founder/CEO and thought she was autonomous. She got butthurt awhile back because she isn’t on the bank account and some stupid teller told her as a partial owner she should be. I said you’re marketing. Why do you need access to the bank account? After that it was kind of forced until for no reason she just stopped following through on stuff she said she’d do and finally stopped responding to me. I told my daughter the niece must be the stupidest person on the planet. Someone 100% funds a business opportunity and gives her a third and then she just throws it away. This is a business once built can easily make millions.
