When adult families drift into politeness

My adult children live in different cities and we barely talk anymore except for obligatory holiday calls, and I can see that we're all just going through the motions of being a family without any real intimacy or connection. I don't even know if they want something different or if I'm the only one who feels like we've lost each other.
