I commend you for wanting to make peace with your siblings. It sounds as if it isn't going to be an easy task. Sometimes, we can love our family without really liking them.

You said that your oldest brother doesn't seem to be affected with mental illness. How does he feel about your siblings? Does he get along with everyone? If so, maybe he is the one to start with.

Or maybe you can begin with one instead of trying to get along with everyone at once.

I am 44 yrs old and the same thing has happened in my family. I am the youngest and I seem to get along with everyone but my oldest sister in which we have just had our first visit in 5 years. I now have a sister in law that just found out she has cancer and she could really use the support of the rest of our family. I am scarred for her and I wish there were something I could do to make things better for us. I want my family back. If there were one thing I could ever want in a lifetime of gifts it would be my family back in one room together.
