It's so bad that we no longer even talk...relationships going back 60 years are gone.
But then again, they are like zombies now, so what the hell.
The proof is in the pudding.
How good a friends could they be if they no longer talk to you? You were under an illusion that they were your friends.
And as for family, my wife's uncle says, "They ain't no kin of mine."
You're better off without them. Life goes on.
