Let me start off once again, disclaimer I'm not claiming to be an expert but I just want to share my insight. I'll first start with my experience first and go off from there. I'm the youngest and I'm the only girl as well in my family, I have two older brothers and its a bit difficult at times being the youngest girl... there are lots of double standards that are set for me. I would say now that I've gotten a lot closer to my parents than maybe a few years ago. I'm pretty timid and don't speak my feelings a lot with my family. So I've also had this question before arise in my mind, but the first thing to do is make yourself available, if you don't then you really won't be willing to commit to any connection that they may want to make. I know everyone has a different reason as to why maybe they feel like they will never be able to get along with their parents but everything gets better within time no matter how cheesy that sounds. You have to be aware of your own state as well. Are you wanting to now communicate more with your parents, do you feel as though now is the time to discuss some matters that maybe weren't even close to crossing your mind? Ask yourself these questions and really evaluate where you are in life and if you feel as though now is the time to open up then you should, your parents love you no matter what so whatever may be the reason as to why you've avoided them or vice versa you have to let it be known. Once its acknowleged as being known and being heard communication will really be the biggest factor from there on. Getting to communicate and process some situations with them will help to get you closer with them. Again it'll take time and lots of patience but its something that both sides have to accommodate for, both ends have to be willing to understand each other. I wish the best of luck for whoever has asked this question, I hope I can help in just the slightest best. Take care.
