[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What I fail to understand is why do you feel your sister owes you a relationship beyond what she’s given you? Why do you feel entitled to her time or energy? Just because you’re sisters? Sometimes that’s not enough. Sometimes personalities clash and as adults you get to choose who you want to be connected to. Why is that not enough for you?

I’m not close to one sibling. We see each other during family gatherings a few times a year and are cordial, but beyond that I have no interest in her life. At all. She is who she is and I accept that. I am who I am and don’t make any apologies for being me. And no, I don’t think it’s unfortunate because we both have full but separate lives. And for me, that’s ok. [/quote]

Where did OP say her sister owed her? She wants a sister, a close family member. Is this not normal in your eye? Did you burst out of a rock instead of your mother's womb?[/quote]

DP here.  It sounds mostly as if OP is mourning the sister she never had.  OP's sister is not going to magically become a warm, selfless person. If it were me, I would just accumulate other people in those areas of my life. [/quote]
