I suppose its a little like spreading your wings!You have your own life planned out and sometimes you may take a different path for example our family lunches were always on saturdays,then I started a job and worked saturdays which meant no more family lunches,my brothers were the same when they came of age and to be honest at a young age I really wanted to be anwhere but there!It definately isnt like that everywhere there is alot of families that dont lose touch!If its making you concerned eneogh to write in here about it do something !change it get in touch with those family members make a difference set your mind at peace and say hello!remember me?

People have to make an effort to stay in contact. At least once a week contact them ask them how they are and if you live closer together then meet up and have a lunch , discuss what you do and tell all of them you love them before you leave. My family lives far far away and i miss them so much but am constantly in contact with them. Remember it is up to you to make the first move dont wait for someone else to do it first, that is when things fall apart.

Some do,
but then I live in another country to my eight brothers and sisters
When we go back to England and Play Rock and Roll shows,
(I have my own band with my son on Bass) they all turn up to see us.
We all live different lives bit we are all there for each other should there be a problem

I think it's because as adults we have the opportunity to choose who we associate with on a regular basis because of what we get out of the realtionship. My siblings and I were close growing up,but we fought a lot, too, and we still push each others buttons a bit, so a bit of distance does us all good. That said, if we needed each other, we'd all be there for support. Family can drag you down emotionally if they cling on too much as adults.

Part of the excitement of growing up comes from being able to explore the world around you. Sometimes this comes in the form of travel, sometimes school, sometimes work. These things physically separate family members, making it difficult for them to stay close.
Another possibility is that in being individual people, we all have different perspectives, and as we grow we become more solid in our opinions, which may be different from those of our family. This too might cause separation, for the simply purpose of increased comfort when one's mindset is unchallenged.

Because for the first time in life we all see there is more out there. We get blinded by the newness of everything and try to refocus on ourselves for once.
So many changes & so much is happening, you just tend to not need your family as much. Your learning new things & meeting new ppl, it's all so new before you know it you have lost track of the really important ppl around you.

I think some of it is because of the overwhelming responsibilities of taking care of their new immediate family.
Some of it is leaving behind their childhood selves and the problems of "yesteryear".
It is very unfortunate in any case. I have a very hard time with it, because my adult siblings live in the same town as me, and we all try to get together when we can, but it's difficult, especially when some have small children.

They just do. We set up our own families and learn to be independent. Then....all the little petty jealousies get into the cracks and slowly bring each member to dislike the other. This process must be addressed on a regular basis or it will carry on and you will become more distant.

Sometimes it takes one of the family to keep the family together. Suppose can sometimes seem a thankless task but one day they will all thank the person. Perhaps you could be the one to do it if you feel so strongly?
