AITA because I am not talking to my family?

My mom had me later in life when she wasn’t mentally stable. She suffered with mental illness but was an intelligent woman and nurse. She had 4 strokes my senior year of high school. I begged her siblings for help and typically they have always helped my mom by making sure I had what I needed and wanted but they would not help me with simply sitting with her for 45 minutes so I could sleep. If my mom was awake I was awake. (We thought she had a brain tumor and were waiting for results that got pushed back so she would be all over the house 24/7 trying to walk to “Europe” on thanksgiving). She ends up at a skilled facility in my town and I rush into adulthood fast and without guidance. I had to give up my “fun” years due to being my moms only visitor for 4 years. If I wasn’t working or at school I was with my mom. I sacrificed relationships, my own needs, and money I didn’t have to provide. No help. My mom passed away and it seemed for the first 2 years I was “like their own” with one uncle and his wife. I felt loved. I have not been invited to family events because “it’s immediate family only”( meaning her ADULT kids who still live at home.) I felt lonely and was missing my mom wanting to talk to someone they told me I couldn’t come over because they were watching a soap opera that she had recorded. Easter just passed and I have not heard from them. (I didn’t call because I was depressed that no one called). My uncles birthday I came by to tell him happy birthday in the middle of me giving him a gift he whips out his phone calls someone and says “I’ll be there in 5 minutes” it was not important so my aunt scalded him but at that point I was pissed and left before I started to cry. I am just tired of feeling like I’m not good enough. Am I the asshole for simply cutting them out of my life?
