Hi Cmara,
My bmom passed away before I found her too. That is one of the biggest regrets of my life. My reunion is with my bsibs.
I am a very private person and it has always been difficult for me to open up to people. I am not used to it. But it does become a burden to try to put on a "perfect" face to everyone. I think it depends on your level of comfort with your baunt. I think going slowly is the best way to form relationships.

Your bsibs may be going through a lot of emotions of their own if your mom has passed away recently.
Then, too, their own lives may be getting in the way. We all have times when we are drowning in everyday life.

I think I would give it all time to unfold. Just be yourself. And try (and this is very hard) not to even guess what they are thinking. I know everytime I've tried it, I've been all wrong. Sometimes it helps to get busy with other things so that I don't obsess. And Heartbeat had great ideas too. The insecurity may be coming from other things in our lives too.

Best wishes to you!

Hugs
Snuffie
