I have no contact at all with my mother's side of the family. My mom passed away in 2001 and had strained relationships with her parents and siblings before that. I'm very close to my dad's side of the family and they don't like my mom's side at all. So, it's really just been the path of least resistance to lose all contact with my mom's side. This is sad since I think I'm missing the social support of half my relatives, but I wonder how much social support they would be anyway as I think they have their own issues.
