[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What I don't understand is how could someone not even acknowledge their own sibling. Maybe I am putting too much weight on family. Everyone's family is unique and has its own joys and issues, so I am not judging those who do write off their siblings. I just have a very hard time doing so.

I have never met my HS. I learned about her when I was a teenager and tried to reach out. We had minimal communication, but really she wanted nothing to do with me.  She wants nothing to do with me mainly b/c of the sins of our shared father, who neither one of us have ever lived with. 35 years later and we are grown folks with kids and our own families. It just makes really sad that our families were robbed of getting to know each other b/c of some shit our father did years ago that I'm not even aware of that has absolutely nothing to do with me.[/quote]

Many only consider the sibling they were raised with the only siblings. For example, say the dad left mom and the kids for a new gf. Then down the road he get's her pregnant.  Often that family may not accept dad's kids with another woman.  Common theme.[/quote]
