Perhaps I just come from a different group of people. Didn't think anything really abiut until my mither brought it up. These folks won't return a phone call. And My FIL was crying about me not getting him involved for advice. Now he is afraid to answer the phone. My father confronted him in Wal-Mart a month ago. Asked why he was ducking my calls. FIL said he Didn't want to get involved. Father told him to stop walking around telling everyone I won't come to him when he is simply afraid to tell his daughter she is wrong.
The craziest part is that that my father works in Wal-Mart with my BIL. Both work in the grocery aisles next to each other. My father treats my BIL as if he was one of his own children. But our MR has been elephant in the room and they just avoid all conversation dealing with W and I. But my father has been upset that BIL has ducked my calls as well. But I told father not to bring it up.
