Feeling better now. Thanks for all your support. Fi x

sorry that you feel down x don't give up though. I'm like that ie I haven't been in contact with some of my newly found cousins for a while. Maybe he has something else on his mind?

Fi Don't be sad, think of all the nice things in your life that make you happy Sue...........

Hi Fi My whole brother (who I love dearly, despite sending a card too late to reach him for tomorrow!) very rarely initiates meetups. I have to issue the invitations. The women in my mother's family all kept in contact, but I wouldn't recognise the handwriting of any of the men. As for my father.... one of his favourite sayings, rarely used, was 'Now we can relax!' when the last visitor had gone. There are lots of splendid, sensitive men who recognise how important it is to see their relations, but there are also plenty who are not very good at making the effort, even if they have the best of intentions.

I can understand how you are feeling. I had a response to a message on here from a cousin that I have never met. I had a few friendly messages and through her I have since been in contact with other cousins I have never met and my mum has since been reunited with her sister (over thirty years since they have spoken). Now she doesn't want contact - such a pity. Lorrainex

Thank you all. I think there are various reasons I feel like this. But whatever it is I dont like feeling this way. Fi

Yes, I think the previous postings say much of what I wanted... It is a pity when we want to share part of our life with family, but they don't want to know. Maybe he is just too busy with his life, and doesn't feel he has to time he would like to give to you, because of other things that are going on. As was said before, it is his loss......you sound lovely.....give the time you have to those who deserve it.....good luck.....Sally

hi fi, sorry your feeling down, but i think your half-brother is the loser. sometimes, people get set in their ways, have a family, and are afraid of anyone rocking the boat...i think it's selfish on his part. bryan.

I am so sorry, Fi. Sending you a special smile ..... :-)

Sometimes, but that 's life isn't it? I found someone on my husbands side... she contacted me. I was so excited, and we both made plans to have a fmily get together in the warm weather (last year)... then she just stopped e-mailing me, and had my e-mails returned. It upset me a great deal..... but I'm over it now, we all are. Your brother may have problems, so don't give up completely. Deanna X

I just tried to text a 1/2 brother who I found since doing my reasearch, we have met once in over 2 years and he has hardly made any effort to make me unless I have contacted him first. dont you sometimes wish you never started this research? Fi (fed up)
