What do you think of this? Mature answers ONLY!?

Tim F	Learn to paragraph, then deal with the problem at hand.

Allan	wow what did they do to you to make you hate them i mean they are your family....i mean give it another chance

iyamacog	Since you seem so worldly with a strong mind of your own.......Continue to do as you wish....Good Luck........â™¥â™¥

Ivan!!	If you dont solve the problem, you'll always be thinking about it.

lisa_swarn	What is your question? I think you are feeling guilty and need to get in contact with your family, and let them know how you are doing.

palin.pimpin	You sound like Sarah Palin! Take 4 doses of some DOLTS Chin-Nuts will take care of everything.

Flouride	they just want to borrow money from you. you don't need them. you've done fine on your own. family will only pull you down.

Frank Trimby	If you dont long for a relationship with your family then no. idk what you expect someone to tell you.

=)	I think you should talk to them because you are for sure going to regret not talking to your family later in life....... Good Luck to you!

Ya think	Keep your options open....you won't be sorry. Just have to discover a positive method to deal with your "emotional baggage."

Lovey	I am similar to you in a sense but you should reach out more. They probably don't know your number now. The conversation doesn't have to be long, just give them a quick update

leapfrog44	You need to let go of the past and forgive them. Parents are human and they make mistakes like everyone else. Keep it civil. It would be good for you in the long run.

Romulus	just speak to them, i'm sure u can make them feel bad for being such a shite family, because now u are financially independent and doing well, probably unlike them!! p.s the word u are after is 'finished' not FINISH!!

ipwnguitar	family is important. If you can, try and talk to them and work things out. You'll be happier if it does, and if not at least you'll have closure.

*Jerry*	come on!!!!!! help me make up a song for my gay commitment ceremony!!! it will starts- "toes touch toes. that's what we're made of. i'm just a guy whos in love with a guy. i'm not a freak."

Devlin B.	You do what makes you happy, not what you think would make them happy. If you don't want to talk to them, don't. Your life is yours!

mizchulita	You only live once, and you only have one set of parents, so let whatever it is go, if at all possible. Be open, and be happy!

POTENT	You should talk to your family. You should call all of them and catch up. Im not telling you to move over there or anything. My mom didnt stay in contact with her family and then a few of them died. She always talks about them now.

Me	Now that your life is in order call them. You don't have kids so you don't know how much it kills them that they can't talk to one of their babies. If you don't talk to them, you'll hate yourself when they pass away.

Brandon	I think you should speak to your family. They might not have treated you the way you would have liked, but you have to let the past go. You don't have to be their "best friends" but you should at least talk to them every now and then.

liquidluva13	I think its wrong in a way. But um, your brothers and sisters had did absolutely nothing to you thats wrong. SO you are messed up for doing that. Yes your wrong on that part. But your parents IDC. They dont matter anymore, you dont need them.

Ms.J	Well first of all sorry bout the divorce been thru tat.... n really nastyyy!!!!!!! 2nd yeah talk to them. u have ur live REALLY COOL! and they will b happy 4 u an ur master and all u have gotten and done.. so yeah call them and try to xplain to them that u felt a little bit overwhelmed or something like that.. believe it or not.. divorces are stressful.

living4god3884	I think that you should keep in contact. Your family, in your great time of need, will be the only ones there for you. Your parents' divorce is their problem...they solved it...they forgave each other. You need to do the same. Your siblings don't deserve to be shunned of all people.

Albert s	Sounds like if u were more involved in ur family you probably wouldnt have been so successful in life... Its not like you were purposley avoiding them, you were just busy living and BUILDINg your life. But now that you have settled down you should contact them, and tell them that u been living your life and that ur happy.

Catie	By your asking this question alone tells me clearly you are in need of your family. As we age the need for family, roots, grows stronger. Put yourself in their shoes. How would you like to be treated? People die everyday. Your folks, your siblings and even you will not be around to make things right "when YOU are ready". Time belongs to no one. If you want to live without regrets, do something now.

sooinLove<3	I think that having people in your life such as friends or family is a great thing just as long as they support you. They are your parents, personally I think it would be best for you to start contacting them and staying in touch with them, because after all... if it wasn't for them you wouldn't be in this world. Right?

porn4life	its up to you im sure your family misses the hell out of you and it wouldn't kill you to call'em up from time to time but you know if you dont want to talk to them you dont have to. But seeing as how you posted this question you probably feel at least a little guilty for not talking to them which i think is a sign to pick up the phone and get back in touch with them hope i helped

marci knows best	I think you wouldn't be asking if you didn't want to contact them. You are far enough away that you don't have to do the whole family get together every week thing, but at least maintaining a minimum of contact so you know what is going on in their lives and they know you are alive and well. Maybe just start with e-mail.

Sta	People screw up and life keeps on going. It would be great to reconnect with your family and build a relationship that wasn't there. Even though you are self sufficient and independent (good job!) it's always nice to have a good relationship with your family. It's been such a long time and your family IS trying to connect with you, open yourself up to the opportunity and get to reconnect.
