I have a sister who has always been difficult. She has now cut herself off from myself and my other sisters. We have all tried to make peace but she has made her choice.
Now that I have accepted that, it is a relief in a way, because trying to maintain a sisterly relationship was always uncomfortable, unpleasant and a strain.
I used to think blood was thicker than water but not anymore. You don't choose your family, you choose your friends. There are ways that a person can treat you that you would never from accept from a friend, they wouldn't be your friend anymore. Sometimes we think we have to accept bad treatment and lack of respect from a person just because they are family. That's not right, you should not accept treatment from a sister that you wouldn't accept from anyone else. You can dump a friend easier than a sister.
But once you realise that you don't have to put up with it just because its a sister, it's a relief. Sometimes friends are better than sisters.
I wish I had a sister. 3 brothers and the testosterone was overwhelming.
You can have 2 of my sisters I will still have 2 if I give 2away
I have no brothers and always wanted a big brother especially when I was a teenager, I wanted a big brother who would have guy friends calling to the house instead of all the girls

We went to spend the afternoon with my sister, my niece and her husband. I haven't seen them in very many years.
It was a gain a situation of who is better than the other, so not very comfortable, but at least we saw the kids cousin & husband.
They r going back to the coast, and my sister's in-laws, next week-end.
May they enjoy themselves.
