    Move on with your life, regardless whether it is family or not it is pointless wasting your precious time dwelling on people who have no time for you and dont want you in their life..But usually within families it may well be resolved before you know it. Give each other some space and time and distance yourself a for a little while and see what happens, family are important and Im sure they will realise this in time, maybe not now but they will..Just dont let yourself be bogged down with worry and get depressed over it, be tough, be brave. Im sure things will eventually blow over soon enough

    thanks for contacting, i tried to reply but it would not send.. sorry to hear that things are so bad between you and your family

    First of all, try to do a self-analysis. Don't blame yourself or others yet. See what went wrong first, where you could have done better, in order not to be cut off from the family. I know it is hard when this happens. But everything has a cause and a consequence. Try to put yourself in the shoes of the others who shunned you off. It could have been their fault, but there should be something that you may have done consciously or unconsciously for their behavior. If you think it was your fault, dont hesitate to approach them and apologise. But dont sit there with self-pity. DO something! Communication is the best medicine. Good luck!

    My father died five years ago and "the family" Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, thank God I am an only child and my mom left with another man and is out of the picture. They ALL went against his written legal wishes and had this morbid twisted Catholic funeral with people neither I nor him ever met. I wanted closed cascet but no my aunt kept opening it up. I had him exhumed and creamated like he wanted and now I am disowned from this "familY" Ask yourself this question. Would you rather let this issue and pain eat away at your insides forever? I did for five years, not a good outcome. Do people who treat you like this, blood or not, do they really deserve the thought of someone better than them caring about them?

    If you believe you have taken the right step, stick to it. Over period of time they'll realise that you were right. Best thing is to remain busy so that crazy thoughts don't preoccupy the mind. People act as if they dont have eye on you, just make sure your actions speak for you. Keep going strong... no self sypathy please...

    say F it and move on. seriously, if they obviously dont want anything to do with you, reciprocate it. ive done similar. find a support such as a best friend or bf to help u get thru it. and maybe one day things will work out with ur fam, if not, be you and be happy w/o em, even tho it hurts

    just go on with your life and enjoy it without them and on day they may come around but until then there's not much you can do you can't make them do what they don't want to do and maybe they will see you going on with you life and come around
