Well, I don't know what kind of relationship you had with your JW family before you left the organization. In my case, my JW brother has told me that he misses me terribly. I know my mother does also. But it still leaves me in the same place as you.
Perhaps your family is anguished over you leaving the JWs and the fact they feel they have to be loyal to Jehovah and shun you. I shunned people, including friends and family, when I was a good little Dub. I hated doing it and it pained me, but I thought it was the right thing to do. Maybe your family feels the same way?
It may feel like you're fogotten when you're really not.
