[quote=Anonymous]OP here --In regard to the siblings -- we learned early on that you have to look out for yourself. We didn't grow up learning to have close relationships with each other. You had to protect your own interests b/c no one else would (including our mother --- which is what I learned on the day that I left and she shouted "this is all your fault" when I was the one getting hit.) I had brothers on either side of me and my sisters were separated by 5 yrs. older and 8 yrs. younger. I was the middle child. I would sing songs about wanting to be an only child. I am glad that my siblings have made good lives for themselves (no one in jail!). Some I would contact on email or phone, others it would be holiday card update onnly, one I don't have an address and wouldn't contact just b/c we don't know each other. There have been ups and downs with a couple b/c you can see we don't have the best skills when it comes to social interactions![/quote]
