By asking why they aren't speaking to you and if they refuse to answer then find ways to distract yourself from these feelings of being ignored.

You should spend quality time with friends and other family members. They can help take your mind off of you missing your parents.

It depends on the reasons why you aren't speaking I guess could the situation be resolved ? Have you tried contacting them to arrange a time to talk things through? Or are they just ignoring any efforts you make?
It's hard because family can be a big part in peoples life but sometimes for whatever the reasons its better not to have contact if you don't feel talking to them again is a option try to be around people you trust and who care about you friends a partner (if you have one) feel free to connect to a listener if you want to talk things through and you could always look at getting some professional support if you feel that's something that is needed
Take care
Good luck 😊

Parents always have soft spot for their children even when they grow up. The right moments are the anniversaries, birthdays or events like Christmas that brings families close and together.

Have you let your parents know you miss them, and that you want them the speak to you again? Nobody wants any rifts or wedges formed in the family.

I know its challenging when the people you love dont speak to you for whatever reason. Please know your not alone during this challenging time. Have you ever thought of trying to write a letter to your parents explaining your true feelings? sometimes putting things in writing is easier not only for ourselves but for those we love and care about to understand better where we are coming from. Another idea could be if you have siblings or friends talk it through with them and maybe someone will be able to help you get through to your parents. No matter what know your not alone and that even if they arent speaking to you deep down they still love you.

Tell them that you love and miss them. If there is a disagreement, find a solution and settle it quickly.
