[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]sorry, but I can't get through your post. your determination to keep gender out of it and not offer any specifics makes it super hard to follow. [/quote]

I agree. Can you try again just using normal language? What was the time sensitive crisis? Have you tried writing to your sibling? Have you tried asking these family members that are in touch if there is an opening for you to reconnect with your sibling?[/quote]

I haven't tried writing to my sibling, no. I texted them once when our mother experienced a medical emergency and was brought to the ER and never heard back. I reached out at that time to another family member to ask if they could relay the message and then learned from that family member that my sibling has blocked my number - something apparently well known to members of the family other than me.

I was told by this family member that my sibling had put my email address in "junk/delete" status. [b]The sibling apparently told this family member that even if I was dying of cancer they would not want to hear from me again. So, with that, I have not reached out.

I've also avoided bringing this topic up with my family - to inquire, as you suggest, about an opening - because I believe it would make people uncomfortable and/or that it would spur gossip / drama that I'm trying to avoid. [/quote]

It's apparent that there is much more to this story than you are telling us.  [/quote]

This is why I always question therapy. They’re only getting one side of the story. [/quote]
