I'm in a similar situation.
My mother was a total druggie when I was younger and just recently I tracked her down on myspace. She has her own family and she's completely clean and on the right track. We talk now and we are pretty much okay. She asks about my life and I ask about hers. It's not like she's my parent, it's more like she's a friend. Sometimes it works like this, sometimes, not so much.
It put my mind at ease finding her, and even if she would have rejected me, I would have still felt better knowing that I actually tried and that I know she's out there.

I wish you luck on coming to terms with your family problems.
