my family is estranged from each other and why would easter make me feel more lonely ?

All of my family has been estranged from each other for years, why all of a sudden would i feel this over whelming need to be in contact.

This is a learned behavior in all of my siblings and myself. We use it as a form of punishment that my parents used with us. I can recognize it but I don't think the others do so it appears to be futile on my part to get us to communicate with each other. Does anyone else have this same issue and if so, do you have any suggestions?

    maybe because it's a holiday and that's what families do during holidays--get together

    estranged for years--really hard to close the gap

    accept that the degrees of separation amongst and within your family members are quite high, for whatever reasons (career, choice, pettiness, punishment, etc.)

    guess you are all on a long distance relationship, even if not physically, but emotionally
