AIO for feeling a little hurt that nobody seemed bothered about my Divorce?

So I recently divorced, all was pretty straight forward and no unnecessary drama. What I'm most hurt about is that my family, who I am very close with didn't seem to want to know or even ask how I was doing. I spoke with my mother and sister separately in the days leading up to it and both just nodded and changed the subject. I have to say my family aren't bad people and helped me out a lot when we first separated but I also do a lot for them. Anything from driving to doctor appointments, school runs, babysitting and housesitting for days/weeks when they go on vacation. I run errands almost daily and speak with them multiple times a day. The night before my court date I got a call asking if I was busy the next day, even though I told them multiple times when I had to be in court, and the response was "oh I was going to ask you to blah blah blah". The morning of the court i got another call (different family member) asking if I could run errands and again I said had court and I got "oh, I forgot about that". Nobody once asked if I had any feelings about it, if I wanted anybody to come for moral support, nothing.

​

The only person to check in with me was my best friend wishing me luck and apologising she had to work or she would have come, and then she later sent me photos of a bottle of prosecco with a caption "My kitchen at 7pm?"

​

I obviously knew it was coming and I was the one who walked away from the marriage so I wasn't holding out hope or anything but I was still nervous and a bit emotional about the whole thing.

​

My family haven't brought it up since, not even to ask how it went.

​

So considering it was straightforward and my choice AIO for feeling a little upset
