My sisters and I are in our forties. It’s hard because we have a bit of sibling rivalry that never went away. We have to work at only saying nice things to each other and about each other.

I have a strained relationship with my sister, but we’re on good terms.
My relationship with the other siblings used to be crap, but we grew out of it as we entered our 20’s.

How old are you and your sister?

I didn’t speak to one of my sisters for 2+ years. It was my choice. Our family is and was such a mess and she brought nothing but chaos to me.
After one of her closest friends committed suicide, I reached out to her. We’re in contact again and I’m really happy that we are.
Family is not a guarantee for closeness, etc. Expectations for love and support can’t always be met just because someone is family, but I do think maybe there is always a thread keeping some connection so that if an opportunity arises you can have a relationship again.
Give your sister some time. Let her know you care and want to hear from her, and then let her go for however long she needs.
Sorry this is rambling. I hope there’s something useful in what I wrote. :heart:

Shes 16 and im 24. Shes always been a bit special in The way she is. Im not one of them that just leave a family member. Maybe in 4 years we can chat again.

16 is right in the middle of becoming a teenager and having hormones wreck your brain.
And also, she’s at that age where you start to learn how to treat people, but also think she knows better than most.

Give her some time, and don’t give up on her :slight_smile:

Well we Will see how it goes.

I was going to say something similar to @Pikasaur but she said it much better than I could have.

My sister and I didn’t get along really well until we were in our twenties.

Now that we’re in our thirties, we’re closer than ever.

It gets better with age, just give it some time.

My younger brother holds a lot of resentment towards me.
Sometimes I think he outright hates me.

He can be a big bully.

I’ve learned to keep my distance.
