Have you rekindled a relationship with a close family member after a long estrangement? Are you a parent who did not speak to a child for years and are now talking again? Or vice versa and you are finally back on good terms with your parent? Did you shut out your sibling for a significant period of time and then, something changed, and now you are close again?
We would like to hear your stories – what happened that forced you apart and what it was that brought you back together again?
