Yes. More so by my family. I am always the last to know I guess.

When I was in college, during finals, my brother was in a car accident one night (his wrist was minorly injured, thank goodness). My parents didn't tell me until after I was finished with my exams. I was absolutely furious with them.

I was left in the dark about my neighbor that I grew up spending lots of time with. On Monday, I found out she died two days earlier. On Wednesday, I went to the funeral. She was an older lady whose house I visited frequently. Whenever my family had to go somewhere they didn't want me to go, I was always taken to her. When I was just bored at the house and wanted people to play with, I always went to her house. She also watched other kids, which I played with regularly when I was young. I knew she was in bad shape in recent years, but no one told me where she was or anything. I was really upset that I had to see her for the last time at her funeral. She was like a relative. Another time I was left in the dark was when my grandfather got cancer. I didn't know until time for the surgery. And then it went away. But after a while, it came back. I didn't know until he had been scheduled for radiation. That really made me angry and very upset. He's doing pretty well now, but that doesn't make up for the pain of people thinking I wasn't important enough to tell this stuff to. This is the man I grew up around all the time. I lived with them since the third grade (I moved out for good two yrs ago). And yet I wasn't important enough to have the right to know.
