Hard truth:
Sometimes families stop gathering because once Big Mama is gone there is no reason to put up with the toxic behavior that went on for generations.
Ya'll were never close, you just all loved her.
Blood doesn't make us family, just related.
Post of the year. The younger generation sees the 💩 the older generation put up with for the sake of family, and wants no part of that.🤷🏾♂️Family is important, but not important enough for constant drama. There comes a time in one’s life where you must remove yourself from toxic environments. Another reason is that many of the elders in the family have passed, and family reunions just aren’t the same without Big Mama, Grandaddy, etc.
