Sounds completely reasonable to me... it also seems like if you'd like to form some new and much stronger bonds with your family, you're going to have to be ready for some serious discussions.
Maybe perhaps figuring out small ways in which you can bond with your family... and once that foundation is layed out, you can eventually ask about why you were being treated the way you felt you were being treated?
I'm sure having that new foundation of a bond with the family will help them to understand that you aren't looking to start any new problems with them, but genuinely want to connect with them in a way that can only be achieved by reconciling differences you have had in the past.
I don't know enough about your family to give advice over any potential problems with this, but I think it's still a possible route of action for you to consider in the future?
