I have two older sisters and one older brother. They're all at least 8 years older than me. I used to be close to them but as they moved to their own lives I kinda lost that closeness.

Well yeah, or as my mother would say, "loved".

I'm the youngest of five. 3 brothers and one sister. One brother died in the 90's of a heroin overdose which seemed to be the drug of the time. It's been over taken by ice. Don't know which one is worse really. Another brother died 3 years ago from cirrhosis of the liver. This all sounds very depressing but we had some great times together, many fond memories. I really miss them both.

Edited,in the same time you replied to me.

I have two younger sister. We were always very close as children and even into adulthood. I am still quite close to one of my sisters. We live in the same town and talk on the phone every week or we get together.

My other sister and I seem to have drifted apart over the years. She doesn't live far away, but we hardly see each other. She has not visited my other sister in years, nor come over for the kids' birthdays or Christmas. She just seems to go with her husband to visit his family.
I was surprised that she stopped by my mom's house on New Year's day. It was the first time I've seen her in a while. She lives close to my mom, but even my mom hardly sees her unless she goes to her house.

I guess that's how it goes. People drift out of your life sometime.

reply

Yeah,it's like "i didn't saw her for a long time.Let's visit her,she's on our path anyway"'

Dazed- yes family dynamics can be strange.

I really shouldn't imply that my one sister and I don't get along. She always asks my other sister why don't I call her. I guess I should. So some of the responsibility is on me.

I've always had this weird thing about calling people. I think I am disturbing their dinner or they are busy or don't want to talk. So I don't call.
My sister's husband has done so many things for us. He is one of those guys who is adept at mechanics, carpentry, etc. He fixed my car for me. He came over when I had an emergency with my furnace.

My mom's a widow and he has come over to fix all sorts of things for her. Of course, he did that when my dad was still alive. Dad was totally clueless when it came to household repairs.

I guess I need to reach out more.


reply

I hope you do. With my sister and I, it just comes naturally, but I've noticed that sometimes if you really take the effort, they'll respond well to it and put in some effort as well. You know you don't want to regret even trying.

1.i said "no"i have not a sibling
2.didn't you read the "edited"reply?

reply

[deleted]

It's hopeless, Dazed.

reply

[deleted]

I know. I walked away from that shaking my head as well.

reply

Of course ! That's the very essence of lying, having to remember, which leads to another lie and hence that well known expression, " What a tangled web we weave..."

reply

[deleted]

I knew that you knew it ! That's why I posted it the way I did. πŸ˜‰

reply

So how come your sister is not a sibling?

reply

She's born in 1991,i was born in 1988.

reply

sibling means sister or brother

reply

I mistranslated "siblings" with "twins".

reply

There's no good reason to be confused by that. At least midget golf makes sense!

reply

[deleted]

very true

reply

I can't believe I'm asking this question, but how are you related to your sister?

reply

She's in a video game.

reply

One twin sister! She's also my best friend!

reply

[deleted]

My mother always told us the doctor didn't know, but by the looks of it I would say yes.

reply

[deleted]

Pretty cool if you're twins with completely different looks and personalities. But no, we're pretty much the same!

reply

Two older brothers and one younger sister. The oldest brother and my sister live in Eastern Canada so I don't see them as much but it is easier nowadays to stay in touch. So I am closest to my brother who lives just west of Toronto. He's the guy who plays hosts to those Thanksgiving/Christmas dinners every year.

I also had a older brother who died two days after birth. This was around 1956.

thank you - so kind

I have dozens of brothers and sisters.
They all live right here on MC.

reply

Aawwww;)

reply

Agree, aaawww, that's sweet.

reply

That guys a big old Teddy Bear❀️

reply

No, you Aawwww.

That's really all I got right now. :(

reply

Who are you talking about? Certainly not me, that would be icky!

reply

Certainly not you sister. :O

There's a good chance when I say dozens it's actually more like 1 or two people
who would claim me as family and they would have to be drunk.

reply

Isn't that also the case with our real family?

reply

Good point.

It goes both ways. Somebody has to be schnockered to put up with the other.

Never. I could never reject you.

If only you could use your power of "knowing fucking everything" for the power of healing
I'd be all set.

After the last couple days I know that's not the case.

I know you are and I know I'm not.
Not the first time I'm hearing this.

I have four younger brothers. Three I haven't seen in years (their choice) and the other, who is closest in age to me, I see when I can, or we chat on the phone (we live an hour's drive apart). My only sister (2 years older than me) passed away many years ago.

One of the three has always been a jerk, so no loss. Another was always so condescending because he got his degree from a local university that happens to be the oldest in my state. It's a great school, but he thought he was smarter than the rest of his siblings because he went there and we didn't. A loss, but he's the youngest and I was never that close to him. The third is the one that, at first, hurt the most - nice guy, good father to his two sons, but he's turned a bit jerky, always bragging about how great his life is now. I know he's a lot happier in his second marriage, but he seems to forget that not everyone's lives are as hunky-dory as his is. The brother I'm still close to says that when he talks to Mr Hunky-Dory, all he does is talk about himself and his fabulous life - never shows any interest in anyone else. Now that I think about it, maybe he isn't much of a loss either.

I made peace with the situation several years ago. Life's too short to dwell on it. I'm happy where I am in life now, so no worries.
