[split] Ethics - parental responsibility re: children

[arewethereyet]

For as much as my memories define who I am, they also remind me of what a failure I am. I'm beginning to wonder how I ever had friends in the first place.

Have you made an effort to keep these relationships going?  Or do you expect your friends to put in all the effort?

It's difficult in these days of social distancing, but there are many other ways to keep in touch and even to re-establish contact.
