I assume they are over 18 if so no I wouldnt intervene as they are both adults and have to live their own lives the way they see fit.
Tho I would try and bring them together family parties and try and get them talking in sly way's.
But I would never try and change their minds or opinions directly as you risk loosing your relationship with them.
I think you just need to trust that they make the right decisions in life.

That's just it our family rarely gets together anymore and it seems the one always makes excuses. I know their grown it's just sad they are not close anymore. In our family blood lines are strong, unless you do something dreadful. and that's not the case here....
Thanks for responding.

Considering what usually happens in these kinds of situations I would tell each one of them to grow up and not to put me in the middle of the drama they had created with each other.

Well they didn't put me in the middle. I just found out and wonder if I should get involved. Part of me says no and part of me is yeah.
I'll probably stay out of it.

If neither of them is discussing it with you it is best to stay out of it otherwise one or the other may decide you are choosing sides and that will lead to more drama.

I would choose my words carefully, I wouldn't say anything but I'd ask some questions to see what exactly happened.

I would and I did. My two younger sisters had been very close for many years and then they had a dumb fight. My middle sister started it and insisted that she would never speak to our baby sister again. My baby sister just went with the flow and decided that she didn't care whether her sister talked to her again. But, it was hard on my mother so I had to step in...from 1,000 miles away...in my role as the older sister...and say something to both of them. Life is too short to waste a moment of it being angry at someone over something stupid. Neither of my sisters listened to me immediately, by the way, but they did start speaking again not too long after I stepped in...like it was their own idea. They've always been like that when it comes to listening to me.

Yes, I want to resolve out issue between them. Because ultimately both of them are my child. I don't like if my child fight with each other.

Yes, you can count on me talking to both of them. I would give them both pure logic with enough drama that it would be easier for them to act like an adult! You see, they might stop speaking to each other but to stop speaking to me does no go. I JUST KEEP TALKING!!!!

No I wouldn't get involved. I have two sons that are gown and they have been thorugh this.. They'll work it out on thier own. My two decided it wasn't that important (whatever they were not speaking over) when their grandfather was lying in the hospital dying. It's sad that it took a really bad incident to wake them up but nevertheless it did. They get along fine now. At least for the time being!
I don't think there is any winning if you get involved. Just be there to listen to both of them whether you agree or not and I think they will work it out themselves.
Good Luck!
