It’s sad that now I have not seen half of them for 3 1/2 years 
Mistakes were made on both sides but it’s a shame I will never see them again
I used to be proud of having such good relationships with them
It all went away and cheaply as well

Is your family fighting with each other? Or are they angry with you?
They were fighting and I got involved and it did not help at all

Try reaching out. They may feel the same way

I feel like I’m putting a wedge into my family relations. Particularly because they never support or express happiness to/with me regarding my life successes
Who knows whats going on. But I hope there’s a reunion for your family

Someone has to try and break the barrier. If you we’re really close then an apology will do i’m sure. I know its hard being the one to make the first move but someones got to

The only close family member I have now is my brother.
I’ll see him once in a while but I usually just communicate with him through text or phone calls.
He’s got his own life
He’s a super busy guy, always on the run

@Joker If you miss them and would like to be back in touch, what does reaching out really hurt? Worst case is that you get rebuffed and know that they aren’t interested in rekindling a relationship. Yeah, that will be painful but no more painful than never knowing. AND what if they are thrilled to hear from you instead of mad? I’d recommend that you prepare something in writing to give you a little guidance on what you want to say, then reach out. Like @Ducky said, someone has to make the first move. I hope you do.
