survey question for any eyes happening to brush over this
if your extended family was just sort of figureheads all the time, but you have a few memories of them, and they WEREN'T coming to your wedding two years after your parents got divorced, would you accept the money they sent?
It would be so PRIDEFUL to send it back, because i want to send it back because i'm mad, mad, mad, sad that nobody is coming. even if we don't know each other. i drug my ass to your daughters wedding, to her bridal shower, i looked forward to it! Why don't they look forward to mine? everybody has an excuse. they're all legitimate, but it just purveys a feeling: "no, it doesn't mean enough to us."
sickness distance and age are the contenders. Patty's wedding was 3 or 4 years ago and everybody seemed to come. Youngest children have no choice but to feel left out of whatever came before them. But i wasn't crazy. I did miss a lot, and i'll never catch up on any of it. i am just a leftover. everybody was tired when i cam into the world. and i never did anything spectacular, so why waste their energy now. a wedding is a big deal! All of james's mom's goddam friends are coming and not one aunt of mine has responded.
Why do people give money? Its so embarassing. YOu can't accept it, but there's such a stinking pull to it. who wuld ever NOT pick up a $10 bil on the street no matter what it was lying in? I would chase a $10 bill three blocks in the wind, chancing traffic wherever necessary. how could i not cash a check for hundreds of dollars?
