This is more of a thought experiment:
What if the exclusion of a supposedly loved family member wasn’t malicious, or some kind of evil plot, but simply a genuine mistake? How could a family hope to mend their relationship? How could someone get past what had happened?
It struck me as something with incredible potential and couldn’t get it out of my head anymore.
This was written after seeing a Writing Prompt in a Subreddit I’m a member of. It was an idea, something the OP wanted to use as the preset for a story, but didn’t have the time necessary to work out the details. So, it was given to us.
So, I asked for permission and am now trying to work through the thoughts I had while reading the prompt, and I’m happy to say that he gave it. Hope someone likes it.

Well written story. You can feel Chris's pain from the rejections.anthonytre97
Great Story, Satisfying Conclusion
Reviewed it on August 25, 2024
I really enjoyed it, especially with how Chris handled it. The way Chris handles talking with his family was enjoyable, as well as the way the Dad also holds the Mother and Daughter accountable. I'm annoyed that the extended family didn't get reality check or seem to really understand the severity of the situation, that's more a dislike of the characters that are meant to be kinda unlikable, not of your writing. Especially since the way Chris handled that was also satisfying, choosing to simply treat them the same way they treat him, almost as familiar strangers and drawing a line in the sand, as well as the rest of the immediate family pushing back against the extended family. And finally the growth and reconnection of the family was also great, the push and pull and self reflection, Chris growing self worth through the flirting with women from his job and finally believing that his Mother and Sister actually wanted to be with him, not out of pity but genuine interest and love, which I feel happens only after they themselves start to actually believe it as well. Another banger and looking forward to more.jaques.parblue
Decent story but fails to deliver on the premise
Reviewed it on September 11, 2024
Is an ok story, mostly still drums the typical family-betrayal beats. The premise was that what led to the happenings were genuine mistakes. Nothing that happened can be construed as a "mistake", let alone genuine. Lapses of judgement by the mom and sis (and honestly, happily waving and then purposely ignoring but happily making him listen is just cruel), not even telling the MC about the decision. No one even bothering to check in during or after. Apparently not even checking on the MC being awake. Lack of remorse and accountability shown by the family (no-one bothered to reach out, despite the uncles initial reaction they happily pumped on once it wasn't their problem anymore, etc), doesn't help portray it either. It maybe wasn't malicious (true malice is rare anyway in the family-betrayal genre) but it was certainly negligence.aonegin
