One of my siblings has ignored my existence my whole life (they lived with their mom).
One of my siblings has always been verbally and emotionally abusive.
One of my siblings has reconnected - I know they care, but there's never been a whole lot there as we live far away from each other.
So... two out of 3 I have zero contact with. I'd never seek support from the 3rd as he has enough going on in his life, and I can't stand the thought of anyone in my family knowing. I'd be ok with just him, but I don't think it would be very fair to burden him with it and ask him to keep it secret.
