[quote=Anonymous]I’m the oldest of three. My parents, while loving and nice people, raised us in a very chaotic home that upset me so much I moved 2 hours away to escape it. My siblings still live in my hometown.

My sister has turned into a clone of my mother and I love her but she’s only interested in talking or seeing me if she can get something out of it (money, information or someone to take care of her kids). She has a ton of personal friends and was always very popular but as for how she views her family it’s all take. She can also be very nasty with her words and has said some horrible things to me in the last few years. I have stopped paying for things for her unless it’s for one of her kids. For my own mental health I have had to dial it way back. I can’t take her crazy. I left my hometown for a reason and have created a very calm life for myself here with my new family.

My brother is just so dang lazy. He won’t keep a job, he plays video games all day and all night. He is a gentle soul but also with a rather mean streak if he feels offended (which lately seems all the time over anything).  We were out to lunch the last time I saw him and he couldn’t decide if he wanted his side to be the fries or the salad so I suggested he could probably just get both and then get the best of both worlds and he jumped down my throat accusing me of trying to control him and tell him what to do. He’s 40. So I don’t need that.

I spent a tremendous amount of time with my siblings and even shared a room with my sister for years. But we went in entirely different directions as adults. I am actually quite close to some first abs second cousins thanks to technology.  Otherwise I would be super depressed as to having no close family. I really try. [/quote]
