[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Adopted siblings  here. One had severe mental  illness and behavioral problems  and that has informed a separate world for all of us.  We were not alike at all to begin with, but we live entirely in separate worlds. Interesting that  this happens with biological siblings too. [/quote]

I am also adopted with the exact same description-one sibling (of 3) with serious mental illness and  behavioral issues that impacted everyone's life. The other sibling,  besides me, though,  got less parenting  and attention and, as a result, doesn't relate well to anyone well, and just seems to like it that way.  I was  probably  the luckiest for a variety of reasons. I make  gestures for BDays and holiday, but we won't ever be close, and I don't take it personally.  My parents were good people, did their best,  but the trauma of that one seriously  affected child affected everyone. It was no one's fault.

Your post, though,  really comforted me.  I've always longed for a close family and I needed to read this and know this happens. It made me feel better. Thanks. [/quote]
