Having discovered my self-in-exile Schizoid personality, I thought it was only fair to tell my close family. It might foster a bit of understanding, I thought.
I had a good response from one sibling, and kind, thoughtful responses from two in-laws. Nothing from my nieces – which is fine. I said they didn’t need to respond. But when I tried to get in touch with a niece she rejected my call and didn’t respond to two emails.
So I reckon that’s probably that, with her. She has two kids. Maybe she thinks I’m turning into a mad axe murderer, or scared that my schizoidery is catching. Who knows. She’s unlikely ever to tell me now…
Shame, but there you go.
[See how the schizoid thing works there? Emotional detachment in response to rejection. Ker-ching.]
