sisters and brothers

Unfortunately Laura, that's life as they say! My eldest brother never contacts me, or my younger sister, but my middle brother and I have always kept in touch. When we were growing up, I always seemed to be with my middle brother and now it's still the same. I haven't spoken to my younger sister in 19 years. So you are not on your own, but it is very sad, I agree. What do they say - you can choose your friends, but you're stuck with your family! So true!

i am sorry to hear that!! I have an older brother (38) and a younger sister (26) and we are so so so so close. I never really understood how people are not as close to their brother and sisters as i am with mine. it is heart breaking to me. My older son is named after my bother and his older girl is named after me. my brother just moved to VA not to long and we talk every single day and my sister lives with me. My mother made sure that we grow up that way. knowing that we have each other

I have an older half sister and a younger sister. We met our older half sister about 12 years ago now. We still keep in touch with her but it has not been easy. We share the same mom and she and our mom still have issues. Her father passed away a few years ago, and so did her biological father. She still keeps pretty good ties with her biological fathers family and their heritage which is great, but she still has a lot of resentment with our mom, and just lately seems that she is not too thrilled about my sister and I right now. I think part of the problem is that she likes to be the center of attention. It is strange but, I had a lot of fertility issues at first before I finally had my two daughters, she has a daughter and a son. When my younger sister found out she was pregnant with twins all of us were completely ecstatic for her. She has identical twin girls. Naturally many were jealous and then literally a few weeks later our older sister found out she was pregnant (Her oldest is 9 and the younger is 6) She is due in April and though we are so excited for her, she has really kept her distance. It is possible that this is because she has severe depression and she does not like to take anything while pregnant. I had offered to put together a shower for her, THREE TIMES and she keeps denying or ignoring or just not wanting to talk about it. Finally she said that she just did not want to plan anything like that.....I think she feels too overwhelmed with it all. Whatever, my younger sibling and me are very close, we talk just about everyday and we live in different states currently. I just was out there to visit with her and the twins and we are doing everything we can for me to go back (My girls are 4 and 2 and do not like being away from me so it makes it hard).

Yes. I have three sisters. I see one of them a few times a year and I speak to one of them online almost every day. I have one sister that I have not seen for 16 years now though. She chooses not to be part of the family.

I grew up with two younger brothers and one of them i was real close with and the other one we never really talked or got along. He is now 18 and we are finally starting to get to know each other. But it was hard growing up because we never really had anything in common. We let 18 years pass by before we actually got to start talking. It is hard growing up in the same house with siblings that you don't talk too. But I do understand, not fully but kind of. I hope things get better for you guys!
