How to come to terms with family that just aren’t interested in me or my child?

[KirstieKaren]

For many years, as long as I can remember really, I have been the member of the family who organised and maintained contact. I never really noticed how little effort my parents and brother and sister put in because I was just always on them. Organizing the next get together, sending messages and such.
Since I’ve had a child I’ve had less energy to arrange meet ups and initiate contact and actually I’ve let go a lot of anxiety that I think was making me a people pleaser.
I realised that I was sending updates about my child and never even getting acknowledged. Not even a thumbs up to a photo. I stepped back and now haven’t heard from them in about a month.
I'm not really sure what I want from this but I feel a bit frustrated, sad, confused.
I’m tempted to say something but I think I’ll be portrayed as the bad guy for being needy. I don’t think I am being needy, I’d like my family to show some sort of interest in me and their youngest family member
WWYD in this situation? Do I just let the relationships drift ?

Yep , let them ! Let them do them and you do you . It may hurt for a while but at least you get the real them either way . Don’t let them blame you for the no contact and drift tho . If they bring it up that you’ve ’not Bothered with them ‘ admit , yes , I’ve been drained and tired with little one and fed up with it always being on me to arrange between us . Be straight with them and just let them be them . Chin up , you child is the most important thing in your life now .

Communication is a two-way thing.
You seem to have been doing all the work here to keep a relationship with your family. Some families aren't the close type that society portrays as 'normal'.
If they aren't getting in touch, it tells you almost everything. Build your own community that you can rely on.
