Nephew pill

[AlexAP]

I was told yesterday that my sister gave birth to her baby, a son. I had cut off contact with my family months ago, but I met them again a few days ago when there was a meeting with the bigger family. My parents and my sister treated me different, it was cold, no "Why don't you visit more" stuff. I have no idea what they think of me not talking to them the last months. But I deblocked them to get informed when the baby is born. However, the days after the meeting, my father out of nowhere started to send me some motivational videos in Spanish, which is freaking weird. It's the first time ever he showed any sort of empathy for me, but I didn't respond jfl.

I don't know if I should be part of my nephew's life. On the one hand, it could be fun to play with him and give him advice (and while I think my sister won't destroy him, if he's somehow fucked up I doubt she will be able to help him). But on the other hand, it could be good to not have any contact with them. My brother already has a daughter and it didn't change anything. So skipping my nephew's birth, ignoring my father's DM and keeping zero contact with them could be a good way to finally end it with them.

Whatever will happen, it will be fun to see. Has anyone of you ever skipped a nephew's birth?

it rather says something about you, not your family.

On the one hand, it could be fun to play with him and give him advice (and while I think my sister won't destroy him, if he's somehow fucked up I doubt she will be able to help him).

its a toddler now and you think about such bullshit lol what advice can you give anyway. run away from your family when you feel like it?

they probably already know that at your age you are trying to penetrate the social bubbles of teenagers

i haven't seen my nephew since the pandemic started. He was like a little brother to me. Spoke his first words and took his first steps with me. I probably won't see him again until he's an adult or my actual brother dies. I pray the latter happens soon tbh. Either way things will never be the same. At least you haven't built a bond yet, so it's easier to disconnect.

I also didn't see some of my cousins for 10 years because of family drama. Reconnecting with them now I feel like I missed out on a lot. So you never know. Maybe you don't get along with the parents, but the kids could turn out different. They might take care of you when you get old for example.

I wasn’t alive when my nephew was born.

I don’t think it’s that big of a deal for you to skip, by the way. You’d most definitely still have a chance at being in his life regardless.
