As I said in the previous post (they were gonna be together, but didn't want to bog down a memorial for Adam), we attended a funeral today.
while we were there, I saw my sister in law, her husband, their daughter and her husband. After the graveside services were over, I walked over to say hello. As I asked how they knew Adam, (I honestly didn't know) my SIL said, "I've know him his whole life" and walks off. No "let me catch so and so before they leave", no "hold on a minute, I want to holler at so and so", nothing. Just walked off. I turned to my niece and said "so ya'll be doing good" and she said "yeah, pretty good" AND WALKED OFF.
I wouldn't be so ticked about it, but they're usually bustin' to tell me something or ask me about the kids or HER BROTHER, or something. I wouldn't have given it a second thought either, but back on the fourth, when we went back home for the fireworks show there, her twin, Brian's other sister, ignored us the same way. One of my kids stood there "Hey Kay! Hey Kay" and she ignored them. I said to him, loud enough for her to hear me, "come over here, I don't think Kay hears you." she didn't even blink. Brian asked her later "how ya'll been?" and she looked him in the yes, and turned the other way. What the heck? Is is so hard to just say "good, you?"
My nieces (two were there that night) and my MIL (step-MIL, not the same one I was visiting in previous post), even Brian's dad ignored us like that. I mean, MIL talked but not like usual. I don't understand why. It breaks my heart, but at the same time, it pisses me off. It confuses me, yet it makes perfect sense. (kinda). But still, what ever happened to the kindness of the south? I mean, even with all the yankee blood my husband carries, even he is flabbergasted. It's stupid. So Stupid.
