My mother had fractious (and often fractured) relationships with most people in her life and I'm feeling quite cross with her at the moment for the impact that has had on my life.
For some unfathomable reason (maybe jealousy) she stopped talking to her brother. Until I was about 11, I stayed with his family for week or so during the summer holidays and enjoyed being around my cousins and, especially, my aunt. Then it all stopped!
Since Mum died I have talked to my aunt and one particular cousin a few times on the phone and we have got on really well.
I am so cross about all the wasted years.
