>Retired parents always want me to take time off to visit them
>However, they have not visited me in over 7 years, despite having free time and me working 40+ hours/week
>They are now moving to where my brothers live, but not where I live, so there is no chance of frequently seeing them again
>Brothers have never visited me either and one has literally never called me in 10+ years
>Brothers don't even have jobs and only live where they do because that's where their friends are

Can anyone relate to this? I've never questioned this before, but do I actually have a shit family?l

You have a narcissistic family. The other siblings are favored and you are the sacrifical devalued one. Nothing will fix them. Just make small talk and dont expect anything from them.

you sound like you're doing well enough on your own and are plenty independent, so who cares what they're doing?

You probably do going off this but I know another dude like you. He moved to canada from europe years ago, studied there, met someone there, worked there and lives there. His parents will pay for a flight from europe to new york or los angeles, frequently do so, but they wanted him to come back to europe to spend time. They could easily go visit him multiple times a year but they just wont.
