I have a brother – and we barely talk now. We were best friends growing up. With all the stuff I’ve gone through, I’m pretty sure he thinks I’m crazy. He seems to feel I am the one who’s making things within our family hard. That I am the problem.
Anyway, our relationship is distant. And I miss him. He was always with me growing up, but now we barely know each other. It makes me really sad.
i have 7 siblings i grew up with. we talk sometimes, but i’ve always been kind of distant from them, except i guess my youngest brother. i was close with him, in the sense that i took care of him a lot (he’s 10 years younger). but… i kind of always coped with my family by not getting too close, i think.
the other thing is that i’m the only one in the family who doesn’t have the same 2 parents as at least one other person. so they’re mostly a little closer with each other than they are with me, because of that. so i was always kind of different.
Eh. Mixed. I tend to avoid them a lot because there’s always this unspoken SOMETHING that drives me mad. Yet, when I ask, there’s just a lot of denial.
