The circumstances surrounding her father's second marriage caused some moderate hissy fits within his family. Abby's mom has always been a staunch old-school feminist, was what you might call a bit 'mouthy', and is Jewish (and Robert converted prior to their marriage), which made her all the more alien. So by the time the kids were born, the relationship with the Price side was cooling rapidly. The kids saw some family here and there, but nothing too substantial.
Well, if it doesn't bother you, I'll keep it as is. I'll just try to remember not to drink and comment around 😂😘
