    If you don't like them (etc) why do you call and message them when you only resent their replying? Then, when they make the physical and financial effort to come see you, you resent that too. If you don't want them around you, call them and tell them not to come. It's real easy,,, at least when you decide what it is that you want,,, which you clearly haven't. Letting people you don't want to see travel 500 miles to see you is as fake as it gets. Don't be projecting your own attitudes onto them.

    Maybe you can talk to one of them, if you're closest to one in particular, or maybe just mention it that you should keep in touch more often. I think you may want to be closer with them but obviously something is dividing you guys whether they are too absorbed by their own life right now I don't know, maybe they need a wake up call. Just be easy on them and let them make it right. God bless.
