Tired of Family Expectations

I had to push a lot of family away to accept this boundary of mine because of how hard and PAINFUL it is for me to use a phone. It's a huge migraine trigger and I really don't last long but I would mask through for family because of the basic expectation to always call back even if you miss a call so it was easier to pick up, listen, then dismiss yourself. One of their suggestions to stay in touch was that I should write everyone letters if I can't handle calls or txting promptly. This conversation was me asking them for help in how we could work out communicating better between everyone... not even a yeah we'll write back or we'll brainstorm more with the family.. just the expectation to take care of it myself.. while sick. So I did. I blocked them so I don't get spams of group txts for events I have trouble getting to with people who have never made time to connect with me.

You can tell them how you feel. If you would like to do so.
