Sisterly love

United States Minor Outlying Islands

Some of us women may have real sisters or friends or co-workers that are almost close enough to be sisters. I just picked up a book on this subject is why I am bring this up. Any comments on this topic? That could include experiences as such. Or even a sisterly love type of relationship with your daughter? Do you have a sisterly love with your mom? Do you have a close relationship with a sister or friend that is like a sister?

Funny how sometimes relationships tend to change as we grow and mature.

@masood72 Yes it is. Having a loving bond with a sister or friend or even a mother or daughter, for that matter. It could even be a close co-worker, for whom you have developed a close relationship with.

I have a best friend who I consider a sister. We have been through a lot together and there for each other when we had family tragedies. We met when our kids were small and have been friends through the years even though we are in different states.

@His_chariot It is rare to have such a good friend. I went to visit her in October.

I would consider that a sisterhood type of relationship. Thanks for sharing that.

I have no sisters and no daughter, I never had a sisterly relation with my Mom, but I consider one of my cousin as my sister.

Yeah, cousins can be considered part of a sisterhood type of relationship. Thanks for sharing.

I had a close sister relationship when I was a young girl but as we grew up and our lives changed - we totally fell out of sisterhood. Dont see any of my sisters for years on end - but I dont miss them as I have some amazing very close girl friends

What ever works. Sometimes siblings do drift apart, and fade. Like yourself, some of us do develop a closer sisterhood type of relationship with a close friend. I think it is nice to have friends that we can call sister. Thanks for sharing.

Sorry, I am not blessed that way. My sister betrayed me. And i have no friends with sisterly feeling either.

That is too bad. But there is still time to build that type of bond again with your sister, or a friend as well. Thanks for sharing.

@His_chariot Hardly likely. I find it hart to trust others when that trust has been violated.

@Gita17112016 You know unforgiving is giving power to the other party involved. Kind of like allowing them to rent space in the head for free. In the long run, you are the one who loses the battle. Doesn't really mean that you need to trust her, just forgive her, for your own peace. Who knows, maybe one day you may even be able to develop a better relationship with her again. Besides, the fact that you are unable to trust others, this relationship seems to have caused you to develop a block in finding and developing a bonding friendship with other women. I think it is good for women to be able to find friendships or bonding with other women. Doesn't really mean that you need to trust all women with all of your secrets or anything like that. But, we can be there for one another. Through our good times and bad times. Beware of gossips, as well.

I do. I have talked about Dixie several times. Dixie and her family are family for me. She is not a "best friend". She is a sister.

I only have one sister - we had our differences in the past but as we get older we put those behind us and now we are really close... I talk to her almost daily, but we don't see each other too often at all...

Nice to be able to chat with her though. I really miss my mom. I used to call my mom almost daily.
