Here in Medellín, when we reunite with friends, family, etc. after a long time, we use the expression "Desatrasarnos," which means that we sit down to reminisce and catch up on what others have experienced and their current lives.
It is a good habit to invest time in another. Not many with us still do that. Families are getting small and people prefer to live the way they like most without sharing. The elderly talk more or non stop like my teacher and some in the painting group.
At times there are schools keeping reunions of a class butbInnever been there and it's getting rare as well.
If it comes to family many emigrated (after immigrations) and died. Not many left or to share with.
I'm lucky to have a large family, and we're very close. There are large families out there, but they don't understand each other; in fact, some don't even speak to each other.
And the sad thing is that what you say is true, there are families that don't understand each other, problems, fights, arguments, but it's very simple, just listen to others and then speak.
If you ask me they have nothing common with happens in many families. Listening is not the same as hearing, same for understanding what is said. Many feel neglected, not heard, not appreciated and understood. If that happens it is hard to talk, which is something you also have learn. If that doesn't run into family it is a lost case at forehand.

That must be painful to know you have a large family and you have klno one to talk to or being close with.
