Current Events > What is your relationship with your siblings like?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I have one older brother. Bullied me endlessly growing up. Not just typical brother stuff, like intentionally almost letting me die from an asthma attack kind of stuff. Eventually I got bigger than him and we had a grown man fight and I broke his nose and didnt speak to him for years, eventually he got married and had kids and I figured my niece and nephew did nothing wrong so id be in their life as an uncle so im at least civil with my brother, and he walks on eggshells whenever he talks to me because he knows this situation is his fault.

Younger brother died on my birthday.

Nonexistent since they don't exist.

One older sister and we get along great. We've been told numerous times by others they wish they had a similar bond with their sibling.

I have a brother 4 years younger that I'm close with. And an older half-brother and half-sister by 10 years.

I'm told my sister use to bully me relentlessly as a kid but I honestly don't remember any of it, I haven't talked to her in 20 years or so. My older brother I talk to every couple of months, I know my nieces and nephews well enough and we get together for fishing and hunting trips now and then.

My older brother would beat me violently all the time. For watching him play video games, or breathing to loud, looking at him the wrong way, laughing at him, whatever. Would even do stuff like slam me headfirst into chairs for fun. He liked to try wrestling moves he saw on me to see how they worked in real life and shit too. We don't talk much now.

My older sister I'm alright with. She bullied me a little as a kid but we grew out of it and now we're good.

I practically raised my little sister from 4-9, and we're still pretty close now.

We had a pretty good relationship maybe a little distant as we became adults my sister got sick but recovered and since then weve gone on family vacations every spring. Felt like we were getting really close again. But during the last vacation we had a falling out. Now it feels like the relationship is spiraling a bit.

Only one brother. He lives like 2 blocks away. We see eachother regularly, but he works rotating shifts so it's not super often. We're fairly close. He has grown kids that I see pretty often though

One brother, we get along well enough at a distance. He lives across the country and recently visited for a week with is wife and kids. My husband and I were happy to see them, happy to host them, and happy for them to leave. Perhaps we'll see them again in person in a few years.

My husband and I are pretty good about calling the niece and nephew on or around their birthday, and sending Christmas gifts.

I love my sister and I'm so proud of all she's done but we're such different people. We have so little to talk about when we're together.

I have a non-existent relationship with all my half-siblings, a decent-if-detached one with my adoptive sister, and a usually polite but always a bit uneasy one with my two adoptive brothers.

I have an ok relationship with my younger sister. We don't talk or see each other very much (once a monthish, sometimes once every two) but there's nothing but love and respect there, at least I think.

I was kind of a bully to my brother when we were kids, but I grew up and things got better between us. Now, were as close as can be.

Great with my older brother (it was his birthday yesterday and I hooked him up with some good old cash so he is pretty happy about that, lol. We usually chill and play whatever online on the PS5 and switch when he gets off work and if he has the time) and two of my oldest sisters. The youngest of my big sisters and oldest brother might as well not exist.

We were good until about 3 years ago.

Now we don't talk and that's on him.

My older brother bullied me as well. I'm surprised at how many of us had violent older brothers. Mine liked hurting me to make dad happy, and it worked.

Like once when I was about 6/7 and he was 10 my parents warned him not to go near the old dog house near the woods, as it was full of bees. So what does he do? He lures me over to it and puts my ball inside and tells me to go get it. I was just a dumb kid, so all I was thinking was that I wanted my ball. I crawled inside and realized I was surrounded by angry hornets. I was too afraid to move and started crying for help, so that's when he decided to kick the whole thing over. Which knocked the hive down on me and blocked the entryway. I almost died to having several hundred stings.

As we grew older, he grew more arrogant and hateful, and I grew more reserved and shy. He always challenged me when he was hurting me, "I'll stop when you can make me." So, one day dad has been abusing me all day, and then he started. I told him to stop and he gave that response, so I punched him right square in the face and layed him out on the floor. That's one of only 2 times I've hit anyone(the other being dad while he was trying to kill me).

Anyways, he eventually realized dad was a horrible person and realized he'd also been horrible to me. We grew very close for about 10 years, still had issues occasionally, but it was a good relationship.

Then he met his wife, and he is now her puppet. She controls everything about his life and made him absolutely miserable. They can't stand each other, but he's too proud to divorce her, and she has it too easy to leave him. So... it's basically non-existent at this point. I see him maybe twice a year, at Thanksgiving and Christmas, if she allows him to visit for both. And that's only so she can get free food and gifts from us.

I'm basically not part of his life unless he needs money, then I'm just there to cut a check for him.

I'm pretty sure the last time I see my sister will be at our grandmother's funeral. Our parents did a fantastic job sabotaging our relationship while we were growing up, we're pretty much just strangers to each other and I don't think either of had any desire to start one.

2 younger.

The older one copied a lot of my interests growing up but is almost completely opposite to me in personality, so it's pretty hard to keep a conversation going once we run out of the things we share. The younger one took both of our interests but is much more like me than the older one (still VERY different though because they're artsy like our mother) so they're easy to talk to about whatever because we're usually on the same wavelength.

We all get along pretty well I think, especially now that we're all past puberty and have mellowed out. I wasn't a kind older brother, especially during my teens, but I didn't really bully them much either like all the other older siblings I knew did to theirs. I definitely wasn't afraid to hurt their feelings, and I ABSOLUTELY loved fucking around with them (and everyone else), but I didn't insult them or hurt them or try to embarrass them or whatever either so they still liked and trusted me.

They had the pretty standard sibling relationship with each other because of how close they were in age, but these days they're pretty much on the same page and mostly do it for show because they have fun playing it up in front of other people. We all mostly just do our own things and sometimes coordinate to all show up somewhere for an event or something, you can leave us all alone in a room together for a few hours without having to worry.

One brother. Asshole and narcissist extraordinaire. The very worst kind of person. Bleeds my parents dry for money. Also assaulted my dad last year. Never apologized nor admitted wrongdoing. Hate him.

My sister and I get along well. We don't talk super often, but when we visit(she lives on the opposite coast) we have a great time.

Overall not perfect but very good.

2 older brothers.

1 (the middle one) I get on very well with, but we live on different continents so see each other about once a year.

The other i havent spoken to in a long time. Last I heard of him was in 2012, when he was off to prison again.

My youngest sister is autistic, and we get along great.

I have a sister in Colorado Springs, but we don't really talk.

I have 3 sisters in California, but we don't talk either.

I used to get along great with my brother, but he went into a super depressive/bitter at life mental state, cut all contact with the family, and I haven't heard from him since.

One younger brother, we hang out regulary. Either offline or online.

Most days we message us some bullshit stuff, like memes or gaming news or stuff like that.

We watched the last Nintendo direct together via voice chat, and this weekend we went out eating with his gf and another buddy of us.

Had one older brother, had a good relationship but I guess not good enough. Lost him about 8 years ago.

Great with my sister. Didn't know I had a brother living in America until I was an adult. Mom and sister eventually and briefly started talking to him, but he died before I got the chance.

Never had great relations with my eldest sister, she was always verbally abusive and when I made it known I was into other guys that got even worse. I eventually stopped talking to her period when she became an evangelical christian and her abuse went from just calling me the F slur and saying I was disgusting to calling me the F slur, I was disgusting, AND I was going to hell. Been well over a decade since I last spoke to her and that seems to be for the best as, according to my niece and nephews, she contracted the Trump mind virus during the covid lockdown.
I thought things were pretty okish up until my father passed away five years ago when she stated she had no intention of continuing to speak to me, the kid her father had with the woman he left her mother for and despite multiple attempts on my part she seems to be set on that decision.
I always generally got along well with my youngest elder sister, she's the one that turned me onto things like video games, metal, D&D, scifi/fantasy and horror books/movies. We both were also long sufferers of bipolar disorder and suicidal ideation. While I, mostly, got ahold of my demons, my sister did not and, a few months before my father suffered the series of strokes that claimed his life, she succumbed to multiple organ failure brought on by a lifetime of drug and alchol abuse.
I have a brother thats older then my sisters by my father but I've never met him.

My sister died a few years ago. We weren't especially close.
