a brother and a sister

brother i live with. for now its just a matter of proximity to our step-father. he lives next door and we keep an eye on him. brother works from home so sees him in the morning. i come home and we have family time (watching westerns on INSP, Cheyene, Gunsmoke and Rawhide). complete opposite of me and cannot stand when i make a suggestion. will snap at me if i do but if one of my cousins says the same thing he agrees with them. he is 2 years older

my sister legally is my step sister. she passed away going on 8 years ago july 1st. was sitting at her desk working and my niece found her slumped over. aneurysm. she was 5 years older than me and lived in california since 1985 with my father and stepmother. looked out for me but picked on me as a kid as older siblings doo. as kind a person as you would have encountered (think joey only of the female variety)

Yeah durden definitely has a very kind way with words. Just don’t let him ask you to deliver him a sandwich.

Spoiler: show

I really do hate that he posts here.

And yet I really do recommend Yelapa.

I contain multitudes.

On RM in general, or in this specific thread?

I have three half-siblings–two sisters, and a brother. One sister is five years older than me. The other is six years older. My brother is ten years older than me. Up until I was 43/44, I thought I was an only child. It’s a long, complicated story, which I’m still working through. It’s put a lot of distance between my mom and me.

I’ve been lucky enough to meet all of them, and they’ve been great and very welcoming. One of my sisters lives three hours away, and we’ve met up a few times. We text/talk on the phone too. I have three nieces from them. All are adults now.

Sometimes it bums me out that we found each other so late in life, and I didn’t get to be the annoying little brother or ever meet/be around my/our bio dad (he passed in ‘96) or watch my nieces grow up.

I am grateful for the time we have now.

Oh, and I guess we're similar in some ways. My sister who lives a few hours away struggles with anxiety like me.

Sounds like you all are making the best of the situation. Did your half-siblings know about you?

We are! and...nope. They had no idea I existed. We all lived in the same town in Connecticut as kids too, which makes it even more serendipitous that one of my sisters ended up moving to Texas years after I'd moved to Oklahoma. The other siblings live in California now.

I'm sorry you had that time taken away from you. It is a hard lesson to learn that our parents aren't really anything like the perfect beings we imagine them to be when we are kids. To find that they have their own issues and problems and that sometimes (and sadly in many cases always) put themselves and their wants/needs ahead of yours as their kid(s) is a rough ride indeed.

Glad you have connected now.

I've been thinking about my brother and I's relationship a lot more since my 2nd son was born. Really interested to see how their relationship develops and evolves.

I've got an older borther and older sister. My sister and I are quite similar, my brother I get along with (now), but we're on completely different wavelengths.
When I was younger it was either the age difference, or I was a little shit, but my brother and I didn't get on at all - then I got taken out by a van outside my primary school and my sister saved my life, which drew us closer together and after that my brother lightened up on me too.
