Or significant other. Can be any one who is close to you. For my family we had holiday meals and in 2000 I stopped attending them. I’ve never felt better. I do miss the food, but I can order out.

No matter how long it’s been, it hasn’t been long enough.

My wife- about a month when she was working about 400 miles from where I live.

My parents and brother- about a year when I was stationed at the Newport, RI naval base, which is about 3,000 miles from where we lived.

My sister (who I consider my mom).

I just went around three years without seeing her since I was pissed. I just went up to visit her around two months ago. Her son is all moved out and in college and her twin girls grew about a foot while I let my anger towards her damage my relationship with them. I’m a fucking idiot.

My mom, maybe three months tops. My husband, a week.

I make an effort to be with those two important people in my life, the rest I’ll see ‘em when I see ‘em.

When I was in college I went a whole year without seeing my mother. I only saw my dad and my younger brother because they came to California for a short business trip/vacation. At one point my family was spread out over 4 continents.

Hmm, well I have a lot of siblings, but….
I went about a year without seeing my mom at one point.
One of my sisters that I am close to lives in NYC….probably a couple years.

My husband….the most was probably a month when we were first dating and it was a long distance relationship.
