is there a way of knowing if a family member cut u out of their life..i have a cousin who is the vp of citifinancial in india..i wrote to him for republic day but no reply..my mom wont allow me to call them because they dont call us..i called them after the mumbai attacks and i talked to my cousin for two minutes then i gave the phone to my mom..she got mad at me for calling them..what is ur honest opinion? let me say that my cousin came to visit me in california and i would feel bad if we cut our relation we have..i dont want to cut communication..he did tell me i can write to him on his office email once twice a month and that his company doesnt mind email messages..i dont want him to feel he came all the way to america and i dont remember him
