Maybe give some free advice about: Families?
it sux that you lost touch with your family but now is your chance to get back in touch with them. take advantage of it. talk to them and tell them who you are and that you want to stay in contact with them they are you family. it might seem weird in the beginning but things will start to feel normal after a few conversations and a few e-mails and letter. try to get the entire family together like a family reuion. hope that helped..

Try talking to your mom and your sister about getting your whole family together.

If you are wanting to contact them then by all means do!
Start out with emailing them. Just tell them who you are, give them your address, and briefly tell them how you are. Then, if they respond the next time will be much easier. Pretty soon you will be friends and wanting to call each other.
Start off slow and it will be fine. :)

Hey, welcome to the club! Just kidding. I do know what you're feeling, so you're not alone. My parents divorced when I was young too. I do know my cousins and my dad's side of the family pretty well, just because I spent time with them before the divorce and kept in touch with them afterwards. However, in recent years, we've kind of grown apart. My grandfather told me about 3 years ago that some of the family felt like I didn't want to be associated with them. Obviously, that's totally wrong. Telephones work two ways. Here's my point, the only way to get to know anyone is by spending time with them. So keep in touch with them, but tell them that they can call you too. We're all busy in life and aren't always looking for a spare time to call distant relatives. So set up a plan with them and stick to it. It will be awkward at first, but they're family so it's worth it. Give them a call. It helped me.
