Just consider that your family, at least some of them and probably most of them, do want good things for your life just like you want good things for their lives. Any "failings" you feel you have are matched with "failings" that they feel they have. You have an unquestionable, irrevocable place of belonging with your family, with and perhaps because of everyone's imperfections. There are at least a few other family members that are as anxious about this reunion as you are. They will be greatful if you offer them a friendly face and then they will reciprocate.
Maybe I'm way off. Every family is a little different. I hope everythings turns out well.
