It really depends on the circumstances. Like after a fight, just let them cool off for a while.
-
It really depends why they dont want contact with you, and what has caused this.
-
Absolutely. I would respect anyone's wishes in that regard. Also, who wants to be around someone who doesn't want you there? Nope..I'll stick with "my kind"..you know, family and friends who are happy I'm there and I'll gladly leave those who don't enjoy my company totally alone! :)
-
Unfortunately yes... I'm sorry!
-
Yes.
-
Either that or you can stalk 'em till they put a restraining order on you
-
I would give them breathing room, and then try again. don't give up, they might not want contact with you now because they are angry? Give them space and time and try again later. At least you will know you did all you could.
-
Been there, done that, although she recently contacted me after about 20 years.
-
Let it go. I'm going though something similar right now... and I don't allow it to make me or break me. If they want to talk to me sometime later in life - hopeful I'll want to talk to them.
-
I wouldn't say completely let it go, but you have to do that to a point. All you can truly do is let your relative know how you feel about them not wanting contact with you, and hope that they feel the same way someday and contact you again.
-
You know your close relative so please find what might apply to their personality. From experience, if you push it and they simply don't want to be contacted, they will pull away even more. I don't think it's necessarily from you personally, but I would suggest waiting for them to reach out to you. It will be very hard but even if you send an email every once in a while that says, "I'm thinking about you" with no pressure attached, I'm sure you will be the first person they contact when they're ready. It hurts but might be the best stance to take...for now.
-
Reverse roles. Think about whatever you did that made you "not a great parent" and think how you would feel if your parents treated you that way. If you can honestly say you could get over it then I wouldn't give up on trying to be a part of your childs life, but don't come on too strong or they'll just be more adamant - let them know you've changed and would like a chance to prove it and wait and see what happens, let them come to you. If they don't, another reminder a short while down the road wouldn't go amiss. Good luck

Yes. For your own health and sanity you must let it go. Be careful of what you ask for because it may not be what you want to hear. The moral of the story is this: People can only be who they are. See them through the eyes of an adult, not through the wounded heart and tear filled eyes of a child.
