When I was a young kid, I did not have good memories with my relatives, especially on my father's side. We were treated like outcasts until we reached adulthood. When my old man died, the treatment was more sour, and I did not want to attend the family reunion with them. Before the pandemic, my family and I cut the tie with them, and it became official when my grandmother died. Thus, there is no reason for us to be connected with each other. On some occasions, they reach out to my other siblings randomly. Perhaps out of guilt for abandoning us after my father's death.Since then, we have never had a family reunion with them anymore.
Do you have any pleasant recollections of your kin?

My family is very close knit. Even with my parents both gone my sibs and I get together and visit, go out to dinner, or barbecue during the summer.

My relations with my kin are what I´d call "sweet and sour". It is much easier for me to relate with what I call "my adopted family".

No. My family was pretty toxic. I would have to dig deep to find something plsent.

I have a very close relationship with my family members, including my siblings and their families as well as cousins. We have a Telegram group, chatting frequently.

We have family get-togethers on holidays. It's of my mother's side of the family. I don't know my father's side of the family. My mother, though, now refuses to go to the family get-togethers. I always have to make excuses for her.
