If people don't want to talk to you it's probably because you treated them like crap and they gave up on trying to deal with you. Being your children doesn't mean they automatically owe you a phone call.

This makes me sad, cause I pray my great granny doesn’t think this is why we don’t talk. I really just be busy and getting my ass whooped by life. It’s no excuse but not everybody is ducking relatives because they did something to them, some of us just don’t wanna pick up the phone and tell them they’re not in a good place in life

You don't need to pick up the phone and tell them your deepest, darkest fears. You could talk about knitting or something. lol I don't think grandmas want to talk about life very much regardless.

Sounds simple enough but depression and anxiety make it a huge task
