Expectations

I don't think I expect much from people. Past experiences have shown me that I should lower my expectations of people. But sometimes I get my hopes extremely high only to have my feelings crushed. I just don't get it. A person wants to re-enter my life to play a major role and when I need them the most they show no signs that they care. I will say that I haven't asked for the support but I would EXPECT for them to show they care. 
On social media I have shared that my mom has been battling some serious health issues but instead of reaching out to me to show they care they have only liked my status and shared a picture I have posted. I have been holding this against them for months. I don't know if they know or even care. This has happened months ago which is enough time for them to send me text messages, phone calls, telegrams or a carrier pigeon. But what have I got NOTHING. 
This person has a pattern of crushing any ideas of my thinking that maybe THIS TIME will be different. I continue to give chances and nothing different has happened. The sad part is I want to continue to give more chances. I don't know maybe they really just don't care at all.
