[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am an immigrant. Moved to this country 18 years ago, happy, married, have a great job, nice home. My parents still live overseas, mom comes to visit often. Mom has a brother who immigrated to US over 25 years ago, they are not talking. In the beggining of 2000s I tried to find him and found his contacts, sent message that I would like to learn about him. He didn't respond. I thought maybe the reasoning behind It that he thinks I need something.

So last week after many many years I decided to try again. I found his contacts, he has a store online. So I wrote him a message,wrote him about myself, where I live, that I would like to meet maybe. It's pretty much my only blood relative in this country. No response.
Do I just give up now? Why you think he doesn't want any contact. [/quote]
It has something to do with the reason that your mother and he don't speak.  What's that about?[/quote]
 
He is gay and mom once said something unintentional at work that made him fired. They lived in USSR and worked together. [/quote]

Also from the former USSR here, and something like this would've put your uncle in physical danger, not just damaged his career prospects. And remember you're only getting your mom's side of the story here. Maybe it was unintentional, like she says, and maybe she was mad and deliberately outed him. You really don't actually know what happened. [/quote]
