To ask if you’ve gone no contact with siblings

[busyweeks78]

Do you regret it? How do you deal with still having a relationship with your parents when not talking to them? Do you plan to ever talk to them in the future?

I am NC with my brother and DH is VVVVLC with his sister (once every 3-4 years). Both brought a lot of unwelcome drama and tension to the family. My DP are also NC so it's ok in my family. MIL was hysterical in the beginning but almost a decade later, she has stopped fussing about it.

We both have another sibling each who we are very very close to, so still have a great family unit.

Yes luckily I have another sibling I’m close to.

I have three brothers and three sisters. I only see my middle sister with any regularity and the youngest less frequently. I rarely have any kind of contact with my brothers. It's nothing personal, we're just different people with different priorities and interests. They're all career and family men whereas I'm nothing of the sort. Perhaps they keep in touch via social media - I don't honestly know. I can take it or leave it.

10 years NC with sister, but not out of choice.
When our dad died her cash machine closed, we saw her once after the funeral and that’s it.
DS was 4 months old when we last saw her, she has no DC, tbh always knew she wouldn’t be the dotting aunt.
About a year after we last saw her the police went to my mums looking to arrest her.
She brought a lot of trouble to DP door over the years so can’t say she is truly missed.

PerpetualCircle That sounds tough sounds a lot like the behaviour of my sibling

I sent the text message today explaining I’m going no contact unfortunately dp’s are already very upset.

Why did you tell them all? They'll go nuts.

Just do it and go grey rock.

Do you expect them to honestly discuss this? They absolutely won't

I wanted to tell them before they started messaging me about Christmas plans.

I was NC with one of my brothers for over 20 years. I foolishly made contact after our DM died and almost as soon as I entered his new number in my phone, he text me for a loan. Blocked. Back to NC.

Not really but DSis is very hard work so I don’t make too much of an effort to get together because it always ends in tears.
