Realize that it is they who are being extremely immature by not speaking to you. Cut them some slack, since they are the real children in the family.

Why aren't they talking to you? Did something happen? Did you do something to upset them? Communication is always the best answer, but sometimes you have to wonder if they're not upset or concerned about something and need a time to put their heads on the right place. Anyway, I believe it's always good for the parents to know they're being missed by their children.

Remember you are resilient, and nothing lasts forever. You are strong and can cope with this; it can be heartbreaking when you fall out with someone you care for. Sometimes time is what is needed for a person to heal. Take heart, you will survive this.

You need to talk to them, even if they don't talk back. You need to let them know how you feel (that you miss them) and that you want to change the way things are right now. You should also apologize, even if you feel like you don't have to.

It is not easy to cope with missing your comfort zone. It can be lonely, hurtful and even irritating. You miss them because you love them. They too might have the same feelings but for some reason have not cleared the air. May be they need time to cope with their emotions. You too are going through that phase. Give them some time, meanwhile, you go on with your daily routine. Go about doing your work , your studies or whatever you are doing. Be mindful and enjoy or do the task at hand well. Be aware that you a fully functioning individual and you have a responsibility to care and be kind to yourself. As you live mindfully, you might be surprised how you would be able to accept your parents behaviour , the problem that existed between you and try to move past it. You cannot choose your parents response but you can do something for yourself. You can always try to talk to them but if they are not ready then you have to be the adult and wait patiently.

Have you tried doing small gestures to show them you want a truce? They might miss you as much as you miss them

Analyze why arent they talking to you, have alook back and see what went wrong , maybe correcting what happened might help and if possible apologize to them.

In my experience, if someone you love isn't talking to you and you want to reach out to them without getting hurt, I write a letter. A long letter detailing everything you want to say. Whether you send it to them or not is up to you, but it will help you get your thoughts out without the pressure of them being right there in front of you.

You can always give them a phone call or send them an e-mail saying you miss them. Even if they're not willing to talk to you at the moment, they'll appreciate the gesture because it shows you care about them. And you'll feel much better knowing that you tried.
