He broke off the relationship with me suddenly 20yrs ag,and has never come forword to explain himself. Ihave tried a few times back then to make sontact with him..but he wouldn't budge. My other sibling hears from him occasionally and has been pretty "mum" about this until the other day. He said something that sounded like he was disappointed in this sibling.I gave him a little feedback in my email and now I haven't heard from this one either.
Puzzled and wonder what gives??

My brother walked out on the family (mother, me, aunts, uncles, cousins, etc.) 36 years ago. No contact with anyone.
Recently, my mother died and I had to contact him (as executor of her will). My lawyer sent him a letter letting him know. HIS WIFE called the lawyer. He's still not interested in the family. So, I guess he's a complete write-off.
If that's the way he wants it, it's OK with me.
Don't force it. If he's not interested, let it go. It's his problem, not yours.

I was estranged from one sister for 15 years, my other sister, brother and parents for over 20 years due to the fact that they had considerable contempt for Viet Nam and disabled veterans as I am.
A little over a year ago, I found the email address for the church where my brother is the head pastor. Subsequently, I made contact with my sisters.
Our mother passed away 4 1/2 years ago and our father in July. We arranged a memorial service and family reunion in September. We had a great time and are getting together again next September. I saw some of my parents' Friends I hadn't seen in about 40 years. I only recognized one niece and nephew. I hadn't seen them for over 20 years. My niece was 15 then and my nephew was 13. My other niece and the 4 nephews were all kids then. Now all but my youngest niece (21) are married and have families.
I suggest keep trying with your brother and possibly having another relative as an intercessor. Never give up! If you get together and things don't well, you will have the satisfaction of having made the effort.

Sadly it happens that way some times. Some times they get some thing in their heads, true or not, understood or not and do this!
To often there is little you can do about it! All you can do is pray about it and remain open to him/them!
