I have friends that do not respond to my texts when they're busy with family or work or other plans. It is irritating because I am one of those people that responds right away--even if it is to say that I am busy and will talk later. I think you and I just have to accept the fact that some people are just not like us and will not respond right away if they are busy with other things. I do understand your frustration that they didn't communicate with you after they said they were going to, though. That's REALLY annoying.
Overall, family does come first for a lot of people. It's not so much that you don't exist anymore, but sometimes people don't get to spend time with their families or even see their family members all the time. So when they are able to, they are probably really involved and don't have a spare minute or so to use their phone.
Is it normal for friends to always put family ahead of you?
