OP, I didn't intend to cut off people, but when I went back to grad school this last time (started a Ph.D program, dropped out after the first year) I was so busy working, studying, and going to classes that I pretty much lost touch with everyone who didn't go out of their way to drop in at home or meet me for lunch at work or on campus.
The good part was there were about 7 related losers (all in the same family, not mine) I really needed out of my life and that's all it took.
I did (and do!) sit down every Christmas, write an annual letter, and send that out to all who sent me cards the year before. If they didn't, I generally don't sent it the next year. Lots of folks die and I don't hear about it when I should. ):
OP, I won't get into your problems but returning to school (or lying about it, if that doesn't bother you) works really, really well as an excuse not to contact people. It also allows you to re-establish contact when you are "less busy."
