There are times that I am quite sentimental with my relatives on both sides of my parents. When they died, the relatives had changed and do not care about us now. I felt that we were just abandoned and not treated as their own flesh and blood. If I am feeling this way, the more I think of my parents in heaven. If they were still alive, they would not let these things happen.
Some individuals did not care about their parents when they started to have their own paths in life. Whenever I encounter this kind of person, I always tell them that they are lucky and try to spend time with them while they are still here. You cannot turn back time and feel regret for not doing things for them.
What are your thoughts?

Parents cared for us when we were little we should make efforts to care for them in their old age too.

Its reality, but I am glad that you already know what your relatives true color.
I hope you'll gt over it soon, a lot of relatives are just like that, we have the same relatives like yours but I am not bitter anymore because I found it as early as 10 years old.
What I have learned is that more than my family they are the one that needs help because of their bad attitude and bad treatment to poor relatives.
So dont be sad anymore, coz they need help more than you, coz they need manners and attitude adjustment, dont you think so?

Just what my mother said before. We can live without them in our lives. Before the pandemic, we decided to end the familial relationship with them. The root cause is that they do not care about us.
Actually, they treat us indifferent since birth. We had noticed it when we were in primary school days. They treat us unequal gestures as compared to our cousins.
Due to their bad treatments to us, we always believe in bad karma. It will come to them more than what they did with us.

Family is important. They are the ones we can run into whenever we need help - that's the correct design but sad to say, we have relatives who are not good to their roots.

People get so busy these days and wrapped up in their own worlds that it's easy to fall out of touch with relatives. I'm sorry this has happened to you.

The same thing also happens a lot here, siblings are increasingly distant in their ties after their parents pass away. It's sad.
