[quote=Anonymous]Here are things you can do - I have a pretty close family and some dysfunctional aspects - here is what I think works. Call or text a lot - share photos, do zooms (a silver lining of void) send gifts and/or birthday cards visit when you can - even short time try not to let small slights get in the way - if your brother doesn't call when you are sick, let it go - that is, if you want to have a relationship Don't force your kids to be close - that will certainly back fire - but you can do it subtly - I tell my kids - ohh - your brother would love that photo - send it to him, or whatever - just to encourage remind your kids and your siblings of birthdays so they can remember and bring everyone closer If you want family to be the priority, model that ---- call family first to celebrate holidays, or when something good happens[/quote]
