[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How can you not know why you were cut off?

No clue?  That hardly sounds plausible.
Your parents or other relative can't give you the answer?[/quote]

I've called them a few times and left messages but no return call.  With caller ID, it's easy to avoid someone.
I've asked my parents and other sibling who have spoken with him several times about this and all they say is call them to ask for yourself.

This sibling was kind of a bully growing up;  everything was their way.  They didn't treat our mother very nicely but she saw and treated them as God.  Now as an adult I can see that maybe my mother was fearful of their strong, spoiled, personality - not in a violence way but in a "you can't tell me what to do way."  My other sibling and I coward to her but this sibling was dominate.

This sounds co-dependent, OP. You don't have a stable, solid relationship with your estranged sibling. Why are you trying to force it, or maintain it? For TEN YEARS?

I cut out a sibling of mine who was toxic and manipulative, although they will probably say they have no idea why I cut them out. They still send me cards, photos, etc, even though I've made it clear that i want no part of their life. It's ignored and tossed in the trash, or donated. I view their actions as part of the same manipulative sibling I used to know, to try and draw me back into their drama.

Family schisms are difficult, and maybe you need to grieve the loss of your sibling, even though they're still alive. But really, just stop. Move forward in your life. [/quote]
