"I am the eldest of seven children and had been very close with one of my siblings up until Covid. During lockdown and afterwards I repeatedly tried to make contact to no avail."
"About a year or so ago I got a letter from the sibling outlining why they didn't want to be in contact any more, citing things that I didn't have any recollection of - quite nebulous things as opposed to specific examples."
The eldest of seven children experienced a close sibling relationship that broke down around the Covid period. Repeated attempts to reconnect during and after lockdown received no response. Approximately a year later the sibling sent a letter explaining their decision to cut contact, listing grievances that the recipient does not recall. The complaints are described as nebulous rather than concrete, leaving the recipient confused and seeking clarity. The situation involves longstanding family dynamics, sudden withdrawal, unclear accusations, emotional distress, and a desire for explanation or resolution without concrete, shared memories of the cited events.
