I live abroad and see my sister once a year or two and haven’t seen my brother for a few years. When we see each other, we get on but I sometimes feel awkward, it feels sad
Am I the only one?

I saw my sister in February,I doubt I'll see her again this year.

My sister is nine years older than me and lives interstate. We chat for an hour or so every couple of weeks and send emails. Wasn't always that frequent.

My brother could be dead for all I know or care. Haven't seen him for over forty years. ETA last time I did was when he broke our mother's jaw in a drunken rage. He can rot.

I see them at family events and that's mostly it. I wouldn't choose to spend time with them alone and they don't spend time with each other either.

Not close at all. It’s a shame and I wish it wasn’t that way but I’ve made my peace with it.

Not at all close, we grew up in and out of care and were often separated, I think it's taken its toll.
