How to deal with an estranged adult sibling

[TamaraD]

Someone that doesnt want to talk it out with you, avoids you at encounters. Once so close, not anymore as adults.

How do you cope?

When the other doesnt want you, and you want to. When both did maybe annoying things, but it got out of proportion in perception and only the way things go in families. Consequence: avoidance from 1 party, the other suffers in silence or wants to reconnect but it doesnt work. The connection between the 2 parties and other siblings is ok, so the problem seems to be only between the both of you. No real fight (anymore), just some kind of avoidance, and rejection, no voluntary contact, only the obligated encounters. Ps lets say that a conversation about it is impossible: how do you cope?

Especially with the hollidays coming.

I think that a lot of people will recognize this.
