I'm sure you will.
I'm curious - why do you think you aren't as involved as the rest of the family? If it's a sensitive subject, never mind.
I don't want to speak for him, but GD's mother's parents were very different people. It's amazing seeing some people very boisterous and others being very straight-laced. Even if everyone is on good terms it can be hard to feel a connection when you really don't understand each other's impulses and temperament.
On the other hand, my family is all a bunch of Alpha types that can't get along because they are too similarly stubborn and self-absorbed.
