[quote=Anonymous]I have one sibling, a sister four years younger (I’m also a woman). We weren’t close growing up but were for ~10 or so years after I left for college. She has some fairly serious psychiatric disorders, including alcohol addiction, and we rarely talk now. Our parents have supported her for much of her adult life and she’s still ungrateful. We had a pretty miserable childhood in some ways. Our parents fought *constantly* but didn’t divorce until we were young adults. Our maternal grandparents were close by and provided a lot of love and stability. We have three kids; DH was one of three and liked the dynamic, I was open to it in part because I wanted more than one sibling for my kids. They’re pretty close in age and we work hard to provide them a stable, loving home. They have way more fun together than my sister and I ever did - it’s pretty cool to see.[/quote]
