[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op - I get it. My 2 brothers don’t get along and don’t talk. They are different and have nothing to say to each other. Our mom died when I was a senior in high school and they were also in high school which was obviously traumatic. Dad didn’t do a great job bringing us all together but he wasn’t abusive. He remarried but all 3 of us remained super close to our maternal grandma. After she died, brothers came home less and less (they lived out of state). I talk to both but we don’t do holidays together and our kids don’t know each other. It makes me very sad. Our dad died last year and it was the first time the 3 of us had been together in years. I consider one of my greatest accomplishments the fact that my kids are best friends with each other.  I tell them to stay close forever and not follow the example of me and my siblings (or dh who isn’t that close with his although we see his sibling bc he lives nearby). My kids are in college (different schools) and talk every day so I hope that will continue for the rest of their lives. [/quote]

I’m sorry for your losses.

Can you be more specific? There has to be more than just telling them![/quote]
