Even if you didn't do anything wrong, sometimes families can be that way. I guess it just depends on if they like you or not. Personally, I hate being ignored. Sometimes I just let them ignore me, but there are other times when I will talk to them. Since it's your family, I think you need to talk to them, and ask them if you did anything wrong. When I've asked people if I've done anything wrong, they usually tell me that I did nothing, and if I did do anything wrong, I just apologize, and fix things. I'm not saying you did anything to make them ignore you, but you just gotta communicate with them. After all, they are your family.

I hope things work out. Good luck!

You probably did nothing.

Every family has its own culture. It could be that you just don't fit in to their culture. It happens. I don't particularly associate with my cousins or uncles because we are just too different.

So please don't obsess on this. As long as you are getting the love you need from your immediate family you're doing well. Just accept it and move on.

I agree with meep, you have not supplied enough information for us to offer any advice.


Look back and try to determine when this all started. Then try a think if there is anything that happened; like missing a family event for something the family may think was wrong of you to do so for. Even something like jury duty were they don't agree with the verdict could be the problem. You could also just ask a relative you have been close to in the past what you have done to be ostracized in this manner.


This is the best I can offer based on the little you have given us.

Without more background, I'm not sure how to respond. It sounds like something happened to change their view of you. Do you have something strange in your background that they could have learned of through a background check or talking with people in town? Are you doing something secret that you think no one is aware of? Is there a gossip in the family that may be spreading rumors? Have you changed your appearance, job, state of residence or something else significant?
