I am a single mother of four wonderful children. Well for the past, 8 yrs going on 9, 95% of my family will not talk to me. I am a medical student and work hard. The only family that does talk to me is my sister and my mother. I talk to my dad maybe once a month. It hurts so bad and I have actually gone into depression. I don't have family to spend with on holidays or birthdays. I have emailed them and tried to call but don't get a response and when I call they don't want to talk. I don't know what to do, I haven't seen any of my family since I was about 15 yrs old when I was out of control. I have apologized for the hell I put these people through but again nothing. I don't know if I should just leave them alone or try a different approach. Family means so much to me and I just wish I knew what to do. If I could get some advice or something that would be great.

Thanks
