Does anyone here not get on their sibling?

[FrillyPancake]

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.....

Rant over!
And discuss ☺

I wouldn't pi$$ on my brother (who nobody has seen for 20 years) if I saw him and he were on fire, I would be tempted to pour petrol on actually.

LOL, daffy.

There are so many painful stories here. Just goes to show how you choose your friends, but not your family. I don't particularly dislike my sisters, but we have nothing in common and we all live in different parts of the country, so are drifting apart natuirally. I don't think any of us have a problem with that.

I love both of my children, but there is no way I would go to live with either of them. I would rather go into a care home, although this also is not what I would want. I hope I can remain independent for as long as possible. I am dependent upon them for some things, such as trips to the hospital, but I even resent that because I always feel wrong about it. I suppose this is my fault, rather than theirs.

Does anyone here like a game of "Happy Families" ?

[daffy654]

What my brother did to me can never be forgiven.

Very interesting guys some really mixed feelings, it's a hard one but the reason I need to eventually have a heart to heart with my mum and explain that a. I cannot be as close with her anymore due to the dis functional relationship she has with my father is one thing, that b. I don't eve want to lay eyes on him again which only needs reiterated as she knows already, and... Also break it to her that I personally want to be distanced from my sister for as long as it takes for the bitch to wise up, will in all honesty probably break her heart, but I am actually going slightly insane with it all, am on anxiety pills etc too and needless to say my husband has given up on them and is nearly giving up on me means that drastic action needs to be taken, and this heart to heart will need to take place sooner than later....which as you can probably sense hasn't happened up till now as I didn't want to rock the boat, feel now the boat has capsized and nothing has been done about it yet, so I guess as my husband says I need to take action now before everything goes completely tits up! Aye with me and him I guess he means. Very hard but when the situation is coming in between you and your loved one, the message of how a unhappy you are needs to be urgently conveyed......I am waiting until after a big family function which is impending so that it doesn't mar it, but after that's done with - needless to say I am not going to it because of the above - then I will be saying my piece and its not going to be very nice for anyone but is something that has to be done............

Then you will be doing the right thing Frilly.

[FrillyPancake]

Thanks tony, am normally such a peace keeper, but in this instance, I can't live with the situation another moment without cracking up, have spent the past 5 days crying about it all, till my other half has just said 'you know what'.....that's when I woke up and thought if I don't say anything now it will drive a wedge between us, god forbid as I canna ever imagine life without him..........

I did a lot of taxi and chauffeur work several years ago and I heard so many stories similar to those here. I've come to the conclusion over the years that anyone who was brought up in a happy home and who has a close relationship with their relatives should count themselves very lucky.

FrillyPancake and 2shortplanks especially - what upsets me the most is that I spent about 30 years trying to be brotherly, friendly, keeping the peace, ignoring being used and abused etc. I've only just realised I was wasting my time and my brother really isn't interested in a fraternal relationship. I hear much the same with you. It does hurt a bit when you know you've done nothing to warrant the abuse.
