Bond between siblings

Do you feel a connection to your siblings? Like you’re the most genetically similar to them to anyone on earth. Or do you feel like it’s an “arranged marriage”. I truly feel a genuine connection with my sister. If I had never seen her in my life, then I saw her, I’d feel an unreal connection. And I would support her through thick and thin and forgive her for her mistakes. I’m glad I have my sister and I’m trying to call her right now. I doubt I’ll ever meet a girl other than my mom I trust like my sister. Even if I get married. I’m not sure if she feels the same way about me. I think she knows her boyfriend better than me. But yeah.

Yes my younger sister and I are very close and no one understands me like she does she has had mental health problems too.
I think the best gift a parent can give a child is a sibling.
But then they don’t always get along.

I have 7 siblings. At one point we were all close, now I can’t speak to/about one sibling without offending another. One sister won’t speak to me (we were inseperable, till 2013). My two younger sisters don’t trust me or like me, because I called them out for treating my mother badly and causing a scene on Thanksgiving. My oldest sister hates me and only speaks to me when she needs my help. One brother is skeptical of me, and doesn’t talk to me much, especially since I live with my other brother that he does not like. My youngest brother, rarely speaks to me, lectures me on what I’m doing with my life, but he’s the only one I really get along with. The brother that I live with thinks I’m weird, delusional, lectures me a lot, judges me, and talks about me.
I wish it were different.

I glad for (and a bit jealous of) you and your sister. It’ so nice to have someone you can truly connect with.

My sister and I are close. I used to think of her as a mother although she’s only 20 months older than I.
Your situation makes me wonder why incest is illegal. I knew a girl who was supposedly the product of brother-sister incest and she was quite normal.

Oh man I didn’t mean to have it come off in a way that I’m lusting for my sister :astonished: I’m not. I just feel I trust her a lot lol. More than any girls because we have a bond you know. We look a lot alike.

Oh, @chordy…eww. Sorry but sexual intercourse is not a requirement for deep mental/spiritual bonding.

It was a love child.

I am the youngest of seven children. I have three brothers and three sisters. I would say that sibling relationships are complicated and often volatile.
I grew up closest to the brother who was closest in age. When we were little, we were like twins and even had a language that we made up to speak to each other that no one else understood. We don’t talk much anymore, but I still feel very bonded with him.
On the other hand, one of my sisters is an absolute destructive mess. I’ve recently cut off all contact with her.
I feel a closeness to most of my siblings, but the blood relation means nothing to me in terms of obligation. I don’t allow chaotic/destructive people in my life.

I like my sisters and they like me. I’m 55 years old and they see me and invite me places not because they HAVE to but because they WANT to. I’m very touched that after knowing each other for over 55 years we still get along very well and I know they love me and worry about me.

i have two half brothers "mums "side.

I reckon I love them.
I used to make the eldest one laugh as s baby.was really nice.

I have a brother n sister “fathers” side but they have been truly awful to me.
I don’t really want anything to do with “fathers” side except one or two in Sweden possibly at s distance.

I don’t have any contact with them apart from sending them Xmas gifts.

The things I’ve experienced the families do to me is very cruel.
And illegal.

I truly do not think they are my real family.

Think they’ve been up to heaps of mischief,lying,stealing ,cheating n that they are not genuine people but pretty false n fake n bad somehow.

I send them Xmas gifts to be polite n nice n cause I’m living in there mums apartment.

I love n am peaceful person but still get attacked with hate n nasty ess.

Turn the other cheek it is said.

Somewhere possible do self defence or just avoid them.

Apparently I used to get up early every morning to feed the brother on “fathers” side.

But I’m nurturing ,affectionate loving person but …

I have two siblings. I have nothing to do with my brother, by my choice, but my sister is the main person in my support system. My parents are both deceased - I’m only 37, but my mom died when I was 26, and my dad died when I was 33. My grandparents are all deceased as well, so my sister is the only family I have left to look after me when I need it. Thank God for her.

We are similar.
Haha, my sister and I had a language, too.
Now she won’t talk to me. She prefers her drugs and “freedom” (which is being homeless) over her family.
I miss the old days…

I have two older sisters. They are 7 and 9 years older than me.

I get along well with the oldest sister but we have very different lives and it’s difficult to connect.

The middle sister is a force. She’s a very destructive, narcissistic person and I don’t have much contact with her. She thinks we’re thick as thieves but we’re not. I quit facebook because of her and her idiotic daughters.

I’m sorry your sister is destroying herself. My sister is that way too. My closest brother is a wonderful person. He’s just really busy with work and family, and we don’t live close to each other. It’s hard to maintain closeness as adults.

Yeah, it’s tough. I talk to my mom a lot, though.
My sister is coming back to town, today. She says it’s for a visit, but I suspect ulterior motive. We shall see.

My brother is one a…hole, he was participating in their surveillance activities against my life in America, over 20 years ago he was participating in activities to take moneys from my bank account , he has been a member in the military intelligence and is in China now, basically he participated in their activities to hurt my life, he called me as ‘Red’ without knowing anything about me, and so on and so on, he is really one a…hole.

Never talk to my family, brother was a drunk and drug addict and a royal pain for many years, but even clean he just thinks about himself, sister I don’t remember much about, she was older and seemed like she was never there really.
