I am sitting here not quite believing what just happened. I asked the question though, and she sure as sh*t gave me the answer.
Long story, but I have four half-siblings that I didn't grow up with. Just like my tendency here, I have not been good at staying in touch with the ONE of them that I've had contact with in the last few years.
She and I have been friends on Facebook for about two years, and at first we talked every week or two, and she seemed excited to be in touch, but that didn't last long. Every now and then I'd send her a message about something and she just wouldn't respond.
Well, that happened again today. I said Hi Sheila, hope you are well. I saw the pics on FB where your beautiful grandson had a birthday. He is so very handsome.
She saw the message and didn't respond. So after a half hour I said "Would you rather I just not send any more messages?"
Almost immediately she said "That's fine."
I said, "So you have no interest in talking to me?"
She said, "No. I just got on to talk to my boyfriend."
I said, "Ok. I won't bother you again."
I unfriended her and deleted the conversation. End of story.
This woman grew up with three sisters and a brother in the house with MY FATHER, who I didn't lay eyes on until I was 41 years old. He walked away from me like I didn't even exist.
Sheila got in touch with me in about 2005 to exchange genealogy information. I reciprocated, but we lost touch when she moved.
When my father passed away in 2008, no one in the family even let me know. Both Sheila and my father's third wife knew how to get in touch with me. I found out my own father was dead when I googled his name and his frickin obituary came up.
To hell with her. I don't owe her a blasted thing.
