Believe me this stuff happens even to people that are older. My grandparents got a divorce in 1998 after 43 years of marriage (yes 43 years). My mother and my uncle haven't spoken maybe 100 words to each other in that time frame since. When my grandmother died 2 years ago he came to the funeral as did my grandfather. Mom said thanks, and that's it. Granted they tried to start stuff with her, but come on put the money issues aside for this!

I'm guilty of not speaking to either of them since either, but it's more a time issue, and distance. I live about 65 miles away and work on the road takes me away for months at a time. Also every time I have stopped my uncle has tried to start something with me. A long time ago he tried to start a physical fight with me because of this stuff. So it goes to show even kids that are in their late 40's to 50's (time span this has gone on), still can be very immature!
