I live on a different continent. I first moved across the country, but my sister followed me. That increased the parental visits to unbearable levels. So, here I am, very far away.

I've cut my ties with my only so-called sibling. We've been estranged many, many years. TWICE I reached out to try to mend things but am met with just hostility and indifference.  So much for "family". I think it better for me to do this, unless he makes some GRAND gesture I don't see him doing or even thinking of doing.
US culture thinks family is so sacred and you're supposed to put up with any kind of crap because they are "family." Well not all families are Hallmark cards/movies, that's for sure. Especially mine.
Not going to pretend there's a relationship or that blood IS thicker than water. What BS.
