WillI ever hear from my sisters again? Or no?

Question

is is the situation-

Growing up I was close with my 2 sisters' growing up, when I was in college, they were still at home, by the time I graduated both of them moved to another city and got married to their husbands. In 2011 I moved out to their city (they asked me to), and we were still close.

Over the years though, they have gotten married/had kids, and the 4 of them are close (sisters, their husbands). They are always making the effort with each other to hang out etc, which is totally cool with me. However, its always me making the effort with them, such as I'm usually the one texting them if they want to hang out, and whenever we are in the room as a group, the 4 of them keep to themselves and whenever I try to converse with them its very short on their end.

I have made them aware of this issue, and where I stand! I totally get they are busy with their lives but all I ask from them is for them to make an effort with me as well, to meet me half way, alas they haven't.

Last weekend was the boiling point for us- I sent them a txt saying I was done making the effort with them and if they want me in their lives they can contact me, they both said "ok" and that was that.

My question here- It's been a week since their last text. Will I ever hear from them again? Or should I let all hope go?

James Blackley, you really need to take a pill and relax. My question was not being judgemental of homeless people - Just requesting opinions of people familiar with the neighborhood and their opinion seeing I saw so many of them on my way there. These are questions any normal person will inquire if new to a neighborhood.and seeing  an image you don't normally see in other parts of the city. Homelessness affects other factors like crimes, and walking at nights and  even just harassment. My question was inquisitive. Your response was judgemental. You can flag this response as long as you read it.

Ughh this is such a rough situation to be in. I'm sorry you are in this predicament as it must be very hurtful. I think that you were wise in communicating how you feel as communication is always key. Thus, you won't ever feel regretful for telling them how you feel. It is very strange that they haven't even so much as responded to your messages. I feel that you have already put the effort out there on multiple occasions and for whatever reason they have not responded. It is sad but I think that you should disengage for a little bit and start building relationships in your life and focus on doing things that truly make you happy. I think you should give yourself space from them, and take time staying away from the thoughts of them like checking your phone in hopes of a reponse. I say disengage and leave hope for the future, as for now build upon your own life. We can't mind read persay but you have done all that is in your control. Im sorry you are going through this but time heals all wounds. Have a happy life :) And know you are not alone and are loved.
