Sibling Relationships

I've come to the conclusion that I need to grieve the relationships I thought I would have with my sisters. They're just so different to me and are very close, into different things and quite negative, so time with them isn't very easy.

It's just tough sometimes. Not always. Mostly it's ok, but this week it's a bit sad. Not really sure why.

@CheeseDreamsTonight thank you.

It's been the most horrendous time imaginable, and just cemented the knowledge that she and I just aren't meant to be in each others' lives.

I have quite a few siblings and I don't talk to any of them, haven't done so for many many years. I got to a point in my life where I thought just because we're blood related doesn't give you the right to treat me like you do. My life is a much happier and less stressful. Sometimes it's just not worth the drama.

@ButterfliesandMoths I think that too now. They can be so so rude and I've put up with it forever.

Jesus, I lost a sibling when I was younger, but I don't feel the need to tell everyone they are lucky to have a shit relationship with theirs.

Totally agree
