stepbrothers and sisters

Question

I've seen my father maybe 3 times in my whole life. I never tried to communicate, I was not sad about his absence.
But lately I often think, is it worth getting to know and communicate with his children from his second wife? 
I understand that communication needs to be maintained, that this is the power of the genus and so on.
But are they ready? Will the father and his wife want this communication? How will the brothers react (the eldest is 18 years old)?
In general, I will not have the courage and will not dare. Because I don't want to ruin their performance and stuff.
By the way, I have also never communicated with my father, even in social networks. And first I need to write to him, and this is difficult psychologically for some reason..

Contrary to popular belief, family isn't the infallible and all-encompassing virtue of good that society makes it out to be. Society's perception of family as the cornerstone of morality and what's right isn't always an accurate reflection of reality.

Family is a double edged sword: it can make you, or it can break you.

Personally, I think family is overrated. Though in the end you'll just do whatever feels right for you, and then learn from that experience.

Good luck.

I understand what you mean. It's something that kills you on inside. I havent seen one of my brothers in 15 years. Ive seen recent pics of him and he has a kid now but havent talked to him. He joined the Navy and after i never saw him again not because i didnt wanna see him but he has problems against my dad. Out of my other bros i was always the one who talked to him the most but he never bothered to keep in touch with me. My ego/pride is what keeps me from even reachin out to him because i feel as though he should be reachin to me since im the one he talked with the most. But as for you, it's whateva you feel is right. I feel like its not really my place to say what you should do but if its killin you inside really bad then maybe you should reach out. I dont think the brothers you have will react bad maybe they will be surprised at first and then be chill people. Ive met family members who didnt know me and im like "hey wazzup im your cousin". But as i said i feel like my opinion here doesnt hold much weight because of what i said about me not talkin with my bro.

I totally understand your sit...if I were you, I won't even think of contacting them or establish any kind of dirct link or communication with them because I don't know their dynamics.
I think it's your father's duty to introduce you to his other children and build his connection with you.
