“Reconnect with estranged family”

Uncle contacted me on Facebook after 15 years of no contact, asking for my contacts and about my mom's health, making me feel uncomfortable and worried about drama

What I wish I knew
"How to navigate complex family relationships and set boundaries"
If I could tell you one thing
"Be cautious when reconnecting with estranged family members and prioritize your own emotional well-being"
