In a hypothetical universe, what would your estranged family member have to do to repair the relationship with you?
I was scrolling through this subreddit and found a thought-provoking thread called "In a hypothetical universe, what would you need to do to return to your family?" A lot of the answers were about pretending nothing is wrong, being lobotomised etc.
I'm curious about this question from the other side of the coin and what your stories are. What would your estranged family member need to do to earn a place back in your life?
For me, my list is quite lengthy. It would mainly be to take accountability and acknowledge how much pain they have caused me which they refuse to. Of course, this will never happen. But this exercise made me realise "Oh s***, I'm definitely better off without them in my life."
