there was a time when i thought that having Holy Spirit to soften one's heart means you would at automatically be close to your own siblings or parents?
why do i see siblings or parents/children who are all born again believers but are not close?

I would say that sometimes, relationships broken before rebirth or not developed at all, may take time to heal and grow even with the Holy Spirit. God's time is not ours, and He has infinitely more patience than do we.

Yeah, I know. Some relationships are not meant to work I guess.
Do not assume that I have come to bring peace to the earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35For I have come to turn ‘A man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. 36 A man’s enemies will be the members of his own household. Matthew 10:34-36
