[quote=Anonymous]22:25 nailed it. From OP's description of why she likes going to the extended family events---it's clear that those memories include her brother and it's sad to her that she's not getting to have the experience of sitting around the campfire with her kids listening to her joke back and forth with her brother about their fun as kids. That is sad for OP. And if that's the real loss she's feeling, then she needs to express that sense of loss to both her conservative relatives (and explain why her brother feels alienated) and then also express that loss to her brother. Because he may be so focused on the negative about his extended family that he is unwilling to give any of those gatherings another shot so that everyone can focus on the fun memories that they all share---and not the baggage. Therein lies the way to bridge-building . . . . [/quote]
