My 24-year-old granddaughter said to me the other day, "Grandma, you will always have a home with us if you need one." And I think she meant it from the bottom of her heart. It comforts me to know that.
Of course there can be issues in families and estrangement. Family Counselors and therapists can help to bring family members back together or at least bring peace and understanding if they can't...
I have peace and understanding at the moment, why would I want to ruin it by getting back together? They are not very nice people and I wouldn't have them as friends, so I see no reason for them to be in my life.
