[quote=Anonymous]Think of the sibling as a work colleague you don’t like but must deal with. Don’t get close. Don’t socialize. Don’t cut off but interact at a minimum and in a more business like way without being rude. This way you can still coordinate for your parent’s medical needs but don’t have to have a personal relationship. I don’t socialize with my sister and never see her. We aren’t angry and don’t have any bad history but we never got along. We live in different parts of the country now and go long periods of time not speaking, not because we are angry but there isn’t really a relationship. We have no problem texting, emailing or calling when coordination needs to happen for our parents. It’s almost easier that way since there isn’t a lot of emotion involved. Also, there’s no arguing over material possessions or money. I don’t want any and I really have no idea what her relationship with our parents and that is. [/quote]
