[Avodah] Yosef

<<why should we assume that Yosef WOULD normally have contacted
Yaakov? Would he, in fact, have considered himself free just because he
had
gone from being a prisoner to being the viceroy?>>

Forget the freedom issue.  He was sold by all of his brothers except
Binyamin, after having
been sent to Shechem by his father, who knew of their enmity to him.  Is
it so outlandish to
consider that his father was in on the plot and had no interest in
hearing from him?
