I was never close to my sister who is 4 years older than me and now she is the most
toxic person in my life. We have gone long stretches of time with out speaking
and now at almost 53 years old I don't believe we will ever speak again.
My brother and I were always very close, he is 9 years younger than me and I
always took care of him when we were young. Our mother was never stable
and prone to violence. I am sure she had serious mental illness that was never
addressed at any time in her life. These days because of my sisters toxicity
even my brother and I don't speak any longer. It breaks my heart but I am
done being sad over it. Now it just is what it is.
Siblings can be wonderful or nothing but trouble.
