You must be honest with your feelings, do not blame yourself if you do not feel the love that society says you should have for your mother and siblings. You have said it yourself, every family is different. Every experience is different, every love is different. If you want to talk to them, do it! If you do not want to, do not do it. If you want to go see them, do it, if you do not want to do it, you are not obligated. If you feel and believe that you should make peace with your relatives, do it, try it, you are alive today. Otherwise, if you only love your children and your current wife unconditionally, that is fine, they are the family that comes from you, give them all your love.
Thank you. I still feel like one day I may reconnect with some of them. I feel sad sometimes that I am not more connected. I do feel like I made a real attempt and it just wasn't working anymore. I hold a place in my heart if I ever feel like they want to come back into my life in a real way..

Off and on with a couple people..Every time I have reconnected, I feel like I just want space again. Lots of old unhealed wounds. Complicated as I am sure most families are.
