[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They might not be close on your desired timeline. My brother and I (5 years difference) barely spoke for the last decade we were both in the home.  We are very close as adults. My parents never pushed anything[/quote]

Similar here.  I remember my brother and I locking each other out of the house, physically fighting, body-slamming each other into walls, etc.  We wound up getting along SO MUCH BETTER after we'd both moved out.  We are now in our 40's and sometimes take vacations with our families, we buy each other little gifts (he got me a new umbrella when mine broke; I got him fancy olive oil when I was buying myself some), we talk about once or twice a week on the phone.

Our mother was no help.  She was always telling me how lucky I was to have him as a brother, but never told him he was lucky to have me as a sister. Any time we were fighting he would take his side, punish me, etc. She was an only child - maybe she secretly always wished for an older brother and thought I was lucky to have one? I don't know.
