In today's Asking Eric column, R. Eric Thomas responds to a couple who was disappointed to not hear from their children to celebrate their 50th anniversary.
From a Facebook post, people knew we were celebrating this occasion. We received a few cards. However, what we didn’t receive was any acknowledgement from our three siblings or their children. When I speak to them again, I don’t know how to convey this without them becoming defensive. I’ve tried to avoid confrontation over the years.Congratulations on reaching this milestone. I’m happy for you and I’m sorry you didn’t get the well-wishes you wanted. Try to stick to “I” statements when you talk to your siblings, as in “I was hoping to hear from you for my anniversary and I felt disappointed that I didn’t.
