Would you ever try to reconnect with family if they shunned you a couple of years earlier?

Question

In June 2021, I was kicked out of my stepmom and dad's family over some personal issues (Nothing illegal or immoral). I reconnected with my mother's side of the family. My mother talked to my stepmom, and my stepmom said she didn't want to see me or anything. She told her how I spent the night in the emergency room mental health ward. My stepmom said according to my mom, "That's none of my goddamn concern." My mom also said that my stepmom said something in vain"He can be dead for all I care." I think it was just her being angry. By the way, the issue was hoarding, yes, a trivial thing like being a hoarder. It's been a couple of years, and I feel like I'm ready to reconnect and try to have some closure.

I've reconnected with relatives before

but the issues were not that problematic, it was more of a -them issue-, and not an -us issue- (then we even worked together, lol)for way bigger and problematic situations, I am not sure... it would depend on what they have done, and it there is a way back to it, or not... sometimes there's just no way back if they take it way too far

I rather not find out

NO!

My sister and I are estranged. Considering she's an idiot Trumpster married to a Proud Boy, I am fine not seeing her ever again. I will likely see her when my mom or step-father dies, but that will be it.

La-dee-fucking-da!

Hell nah unless there’s no bad blood between us and both party being a better person. Reconnect when still feeling unstable or uncertain only making the relationship getting toxic. I mean if they cut me off, why would i want them in my life? better life with people who gives positive vibes

Absofuckinglutely not.
everyone in my family is pretty much already cut off except my parents and siblings.
everyone else is irrelevant. I learned rather later in life that sometimes family is just a word to describe people from extend your blood line. But they ain’t worth a dime.

I think they're being unnecessarily mean to you, bro. Obviously you had a flaw, but it's not your fault. Like you said, it's related to mental health. We all struggle with something. I would say just keep on your journey of growth and improvement, and try to keep your distance from your stepmom if she's only going to be mean. I'm glad your mom is supporting you and helping you.

Haven't seen you on here for a while. This post doesn't sound like you. What's going on? There's more going on than your family, or your mom, or your step mom. Are you focused on the right things?

I have done this and they were happy and apologized for the confusion. Good luck.

No, never. I haven't seen my mom and dad since I was 15 and doubt if I ever will again.

this may be hard for you to hear but it's best that you don't. no good will come from you reconnecting with people like that it'll only bring you more heartache and pain

I have not seen anyone from my family in many years.

Heolurt · Answer

Hell no, they abandoned me, they didn't even want me to begin with, so when they cut ties with me, I accepted that and have refused tocast

DorisTaylor · Answer

For me, my family is everything. I even don't want to leave my family at all. I always try to make my family members happy.
