Does anyone here not get on their sibling?
50 Answers
As above, I really cant stand one of mine, she is nothing but trouble.......everything she gets involved in she twists round to blame someone else, anyone....she has become so bitter and twisted and all she ever seems to do is try and cause trouble, hassle, bad feeling in the family.....

I love both my sisters very much and we have a great relationship. I miss them both a lot as they now live quite far away from me but we're in touch a lot. I can see why people think it's a shame that siblings don't get along. However, if didn't get along with either of them I simply would ignore them, it's what I do with other relations who I very much dislike, and I can't imagine any of my family even attempting to talk to me about it or indeed try to change my mind. I think some families just like the drama of fighting to be honest, certainly a couple of my relatives would relish it... if only I would speak to them!
I have two older sisters, one is thirteen months older than me, the other is eight years older.
Growing up we were never close, we simply had nothing in comon.
My father was extremely mentally abusive and tok out his anger on me. Turns out he was a serial adulterer and wife-beater, although this never came out until he died - my parents divorced when i was in my twenties.
Because of his behaviour towards me, my mother over-compensated, which caused resentment in my sisters.
Matter were compounded when I married a divorcee with two children - my mother did not approve, and my sisters lined uip behind her, they have always behaved as though I am the 'little brother' who knows nothing.
We are estranged now, I expect we will meet at my mothers funeral, a day I dread. In my perception, they are arrogant, pompous and small-minded, doubtless they have similarly negative new of me.
I don't need or miss them as family, so I am fine without them, and they are close to each other, so I guess we all make the best of the situation.
Their approach has impacted on my family, I have always guided my daughters towards rapproachment when they have their (rare) spats, but as they are all pretty close, it doesn't last long.
I have always felt like an only child, and we all adapt to what we canot change.

this sounds like one of my sisters as well, i am nice to her for the sake of my parents, another sister cheated with my ex bf and now they are together. Both of these sisters get on really well. The one who didnt cheat things that it is fine what the other one did, So personally i dont really have anything to do with them, as i dont need people like that in my life.

My brother slammed the phone down on me in January and I can't see we'll speak again for many years to come.
My brother's always been what I term a 'user' - of people and things. Over the years he's always asked to borrow items such as tools, books, travel kettles, alarm clocks etc. He usually says he's too busy to get to the shops and needs whatever it is quickly. I've always driven 80+ miles round trips to take something to him but then I don't see the items again unless I ask for them several months down the line. I then have to drive back to get my things - but only when it's convenient to him. I've often gone out and just bought new items as I usually remember I lent them to him when I need them. The number of things I have two or more of!
In 2005 my brother was selling a car but it had a dodgy battery. He didn't want to buy a new battery so he borrowed my mains powered Jumpstarta to make sure the car started. He sold the car, then rented the house out - but I never saw my Jumpstarta again. Whenever I reminded him he was always vague and led me to think it was still in the garage of the rented house.
In January I decided to buy another Jumpstarta. It was £240 and I didn't want to buy a new one if I was going to get the first one back sometime. I explained that to my brother and asked if I was going to get the first Jumpstarta back sometime. He just hit the roof, gave me a load of four-letter words then told me it had disappeared from the rented house and I would never see it again. "How much do you want!" he was yelling - then he just slammed the phone down! Quite obviously he had hoped I'd eventually stop asking about it.
Unfortunately, my brother has become very 'Americanised'. He works for an American computer company and he's picked up the cold arrogance and selfishness that US firms and many Americans seem to have. He refused to learn French when he spent three years in Belgium and just said to me "Listen, if these bastards don't speak English we don't deal with them!" That's the American view. He's paid a six-figure basic salary and four large bonuses every year - one of which I know was £60,000. He's got four cars, two large houses and travels around the world scuba diving - yet he borrows my things then never returns them! The only people he deals with are people who are useful to him and if someone's not then he simply has nothing to do with them. Relatives aren't useful so he ignores them.
He's very unpleasant and I've had years of his selfishness. Now I'm 50 I've decided I'm not putting up with it any longer. I helped him out and then he gave me a load of abuse when I asked if he still had my Jumpstarta. I didn't even ask for it back, I just said I didn't want to buy another if he still had the first one!
Unless he apologises for all the abuse then he can just get stuffed! The trouble is that he doesn't do apologies.

I've got 6 siblings and most of us get on really well with each other but there is one exception.
When one of my sisters and one of my brothers were at school together she got him beaten up (she's always been a bit of a loose cannon). He hasn't spoken to her since and that was about 15 years ago. I don't think they'll ever mutter another word to each other.
