I envy those people who have good relationships with their brothers and sisters, for one embarrassing reason which I need to open up because I need help from those who could understand my situation.
Often than not,family stick together through thick and thin. Unfortunately,some find them selves trapped in a kind of family they never wanted because they are not getting well with each other. Some are glad and grateful for the kind of family they have.
Have you experienced being betrayed by your sisters? Do you have those type whom just look at your mistakes instead of giving you moral support. If you have siblings who contributes to your unhappiness, would you rather think that you don't have them so you can be happy in your life?

Hi Jas. I have two siblings. One is 15-year old and the other one is 10-year old. So far, I haven't had any serious issues with them other than my brother who's getting a bit stubborn which I consider normal for his age. He's not really a very hardworking student which always makes me worried how's it gonna be for him when he reaches college. I would really want him to enter in a state university just like how did to save money instead of spending ridiculous amount for tuition fees. I'm also worried that he might be like the others who got a girl pregnant and got married early. I just laugh it off sometimes because I'm being a paranoid but hey, you can't blame me because I'm the eldest and I want their lives to go smooth as much as possible. If ever they reach a mature age, I'm hoping that we won't get involved in conflicts that will test our relationship.In case it happens, I'll try my best to work it out with them. I like my family in tact as much as possible.
I'm hoping that things will go smooth and well with your family too especially now that the holiday is coming..

i only have one sis who is younger than me. my relationship with her is extremely okay. what is not okay is my relationship with my SIL's. they are very insensitive, irresponsible and immature. i just don't like the way they think of things that are supposed to be discussed by them and not to be discussed by me and my husband since the concerned is their mother.

Some people are just so narrow minded.If only we can choose them before we know it.
Atleast you are in good terms with your real sister.Thanks for posting.

i can relate. i have a brother who thinks he is better than me and my two sisters. he has completely distanced himself from the family over the years to the point that he does not even join us once a year for christmas or thanksgiving. his wife is a nasty witch and she has also always thought she was better than all of us. i was once very close to my brother and loved him very much but he is not a nice person anymore and it is really sad. he barely even bothers with my parents, who i might add, were both very loving and good parents to him, especially my mom. i think it is sad that people grow apart like that because life is so short and so very hard as it is.

Hi jas! I happen to come from a big family, with six sisters and three brothers. I can say that, we also have differences at times, but we don't make a big deal about it because, we're all afraid to hurt one another's feelings. We also talk things over a lot. As we grew older, and have families of their own, sibling relationships have become more meaningful because we're now more like barkada (friends) and would laugh at all the crazy things we did when we were younger. I guess, it would really hurt me a lot if my sisters or brothers would not be supportive of me. But it would be a challenge to prove to them that I can manage without them...have a nice day jas!

I had both. I had three step sisters from my father's previous marriage. The two was okay. But the one in particular was really selfish. He did horrible things to my father. He got married without my father's approval and still when she comes back she was so sarcastic and call my mom with unpleasent names. My temper rose and I throw him out of the house. That kind of woman doesn't have a place in my family. We live in harmony and doesn't want anyone like her. She is just an adopted daughter and my father took care of her like his own but still she was never thankful to him. I am just glad that she had her punishment for it. I just hope that she learnt her lesson for calling my mom animal.

I understand how you feel.Sometimes,some people just don't see the good thing one person does.be it a sister or brother,...Lets just hope that they learn to care and see the bigger picture.Its hard really.I'm sure there are a lot out there who have a very pleasant relationship with their siblings.Lucky them right?
