We have a situation where our extended family (aunts, uncles, cousins) don't communicate often, with each other. It's a dysfunction in the family since our grandparents passed away (their kids were affected and therefore, when they had kids of their own, it was passed down). I'm a part of the younger generation, and I remember when I was little, my grandparents always had Christmas and Easter dinners, together, with everyone. Now that they're both gone, NO one has taken that initiative to bring the family together, again, for our annual dinners. I've tried to contact family and ask them about getting together, and they seem to have an excuse for not participating. I have kids of my own, and I want them to get to know the rest of the family, but it's difficult when no one really makes an effort in getting to know us!!
Someone in our family always has a grudge on someone else in the family! It's sad...what can I do?
