Family estranged

There’s been a big falling out in my family. Parents and siblings, I’m not directly involved, but have stepped back from, as I felt it was a toxic situation and I was getting very upset by them each blaming the other. However, time has passed and as the oldest sibling feel I should try and help mend bridges to reconcile the family. Should I? Or leave well alone? I should add I’ve had to see my GP recently for anxiety and am now on meds. I’m willing to put myself back into a stressful situation to try and get the family talking again. Or should I think of my own health and let them sort it out themselves?

you can be in touch with whomever you want to, with out any need to organise a family reunion - or feeling that you should.

Then you have no idea what the reasons are. Stay not involved. There is no guarantee that reconciling the family is the right thing for anyone.
