My sister and I did not get along for 25 years and finally it clicked within the last year. I feel so lucky that we set aside our differences and now we love each other very genuinely, and she even fully accepts and participates in my lifestyle. How is everything with your siblings? What do you think could repair things if it isn't well? What do you think would break it if everything is well?
it is better now, but years ago it was not good at all, for my own personal reasons. One sibling tried to control (and sometimes still does) everything in everyone's life and is extremely nosy. Ego problem and has some narcissistic tendencies as well. Another one has a very strong personality and can be very stubborn. The oldest is a puppet to the second oldest and does everything she asks him to do. He also has anger management issues that have affected most of the family members except the one he is afraid of. I am thought of as the kind one who is generous but, let's take advantage of that. I'm sure they don't like things about me, either. So we all tolerate one another, but if I were to be honest--I wish I had better siblings who did not have those behaviors.
I have an older sister and younger brother. My sister and I had a huge falling out over a year ago. We still say happy birthday to each other but that has been basically the extent of it. We still love each other, have expressed that, but otherwise do want to talk to each after what had happened and I’m not sure if it’ll ever get repaired, not that I have tried. My brother and I generally do our own things and don’t talk all the time but we have a good relationship. All he really does is work and play video games so sometimes I’ve gotten him to join games with me or I’ll just show up where he is living at lol
Me, my brother, and my youngest sister all get along great. None of us gets along with my super-bitch oldest sister (I'm the oldest). She literally wanted to be an only child, and has always hated not having all the attention to herself, and so she's always been a loud, spiteful, hateful busybody who gleefully points out everyone's faults or shortcomings.
The only friends she has ever had were themselves toxic, and as far as I know, she hasn't visited or had a friend visit her for years. My mother is really her only friend - they run a daycare together.
Just fine, I am taking my sister to the demo derby at the county fair on Monday.
My brother in law doesn't like it but she does.

I’m still living with them, so me and my brother are like regular brothers, either the closest friends ever, or the worst sworn enemies. My sister and I are distant, because she is both the opposite gender, but also 6 years younger than me. We rarely get along like friends, it’s more like acquaintances who get along at times, but mainly don’t interact.
u I have 4 brothers and I have a good relationship with all of them. One of them is my twin and we are very close. Of course we've had our differences over things, often silly stuff, in the past. But we get over it quickly.
I'm glad you've been able to rebuild a relationship with your sister. Hopefully you can keep it going!
My sis and i were never close for long but we have our moments. She is easily influenced by others, especially my mom, so its hard to keep her loyalty. I’m a much better influence for her than my mom who holds her back from everything in life she needs to get by. As for my 3 brothers, I’m not close to them. I see one or two every 5 years. The middle one, I only met him as a newborn. I am the oldest of my 4 siblings but I really only claim the one I grew up with
It's thin as a leaf. No, we don't talk much, hell we just talked by text just recently. But it was... like a good year since we talked. There's nothing wrong with our relationship, it's just... we ain't living in the same house or the same state anymore. 🤷♀️Goes for the rest of the family, if we don't talk at least a few times a month, we gonna be strangers until someone dies or one of you come down to see me.
Well my sister is extremely entitled and narcissistic. So I have to Act and Behave sympathetic and empathetic and agreeable. To not aggravate her.
Obviously it’s like me being fake. But there’s no wining with her or fixing her. So my best option is to do some acting and be nice and agreeable. 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
I am very happy for you. Luckily I have siblings that I love as well. We still don't always see eye to eye on things but that's okay. Being able to accept each other's differences is one of the best things ever for all people in all sorts of relationships but I think the bond between siblings is special because there are certain things that only a sibling would truly understand like being the child of a certain abusive parent or amazing parent.
We dont speak. In fact they organised a father's day get together and I wasn't invited. They have made it known my whole life they hate me. They even tried to have my daughter taken off me when they were contacting child services and when that didn't work because my daughter has never been harmed or in danger they than tried to have us kicked out of our home and out onto the street.
I have 2 brothers, I'm the middle child. With my younger brother I'm ok but we don't spend much time together. With my older brother I'm much closer and we also do more stuff together also because we have overlapping friend circle.
I"m blessed to have great relationships with both of the siblings. I have good relationships with all of my family members, even though they don't always seem to particularly like each other.
I have a very good healthy relationship with my siblings. We are all 4 years apart and I think that plays into our benefits.
I have 5 siblings and we are all pretty close. We respect each other and we get along really well together. I feel very blessed.
What kind of lifestyle do you have that she participates in?
u I get along well with both... closer with the younger one as we're also closer in age and grew up like that
I have 5 much older sisters 15y to 6y older. They are like aunts to me. My oldest sister is like a second mother (in a bad way).
My sister and I fought when lived under the same roof especially before I came out cause the guys she like were calling me. Now we get along. Now we're not under the same roof.
My sister and I are 10 years apart (she’s older). We pretty much hated each-other until I got into high school. Now we’re pretty good friends.
My brother and I have always been very close. He was always very protective of me.
All is good. One of us would have to say something very mean to break it.
Depends on the sibling. The two closest to my age, pretty close. However there are four who are much younger that I don’t connect well with.
With my brother close. With my sister supportive and protective
I haven't talked to my brother since my mom died 10 years ago. My sister and I talk once in awhile on the phone. She lives halfway across the country
