What's your relationship like with your siblings?

[LittleMumSmall]

Little sister and I were virtually inseparable until early teens - now in our 30s and I realised we've probably only spoken to each other about 6 times this year. We live miles apart and our lives are vastly different (I think the biggest difference though is that I have children and she doesn't) and sometimes I just wonder what the future will bring...will we be able to find some common ground to make us closer again? Has anyone else experienced this with siblings?

My brothers were abusive to me when I was little. They grew up to be mentally ill (and dangerous) people. I try to be somewhat supportive of the brother who has tried to pull his life together. I don't have a contact with other brother.

My dad is second eldest of 10 (over 4 marriages) and he manages to keep good close links with nearly all of them.

Love my two siblings so much they are my best mates.

I have twin brothers 5 years younger than me. I see them rarely and have little in common with them.

Older twin is okay, has calmed down a lot(thanks to his lovely DP) and is less racist and foul mouthed, sadly younger twin (who lives with my mum) is still a foul mouthed racist cunt.

I find having little to do with them works well for us.
