Extended family members include grandparents, cousins, aunts, uncles, etc.
As a kid I would visit members of my extended family frequently. However, as an adult I've socialized with members of my extended family only at weddings, funerals or milestone birthdays of 70 or 80 years.
It’s been over a decade. There are both tangible and intangible distances between us; neither side has made an effort to ingratiate the other side, and I am completely comfortable with that.
