I don't know if I can do it. I'm not sure if my family will accept me back.
gpt
Why do you feel that way? Have they explicitly said they won't accept you back?
human
No, but I left without telling them and it's been so long. I feel like I abandoned them.

It sounds like you're carrying a lot of guilt. And while it's understandable, you shouldn't let that hold you back from reconnecting with your family.
human
I know, but what if they're still angry with me?
gpt
You won't know until you try. And even if they are upset at first, it doesn't mean they won't eventually forgive you.

Remember when I cleaned up my room because I didn't want my mom to be mad at me? It's kind of the same thing. I don't want to disappoint my family again.
gpt
I understand that, but you're not a kid anymore. You've grown and changed since you last saw them. I believe they will be happy to see the person you've become.
human
Thank you for supporting me and being there for me. It's a scary thought, but I really do want to try to reconnect with my family.
gpt
Of course. I'll be with you every step of the way. And who knows, maybe they'll be the supportive and loving family you deserve.
human
I'm nervous, but I know deep down that I need to try. I want to see my family again.
