The last couple of days has been really full on for me, work mostly and emotions of health yadda yadda.  I haven't been sleeping well, so last night - my Friday - I was shagged.  I just wanted to have one glass of wine, dinner and go to bed early AS IN VERY EARLY.....
 
My sister phone, she's going to court to finalise her divorce on Tuesday and she's stressed.  For the last year you could say she's been introduced to the real world. She has had to get a job (never had one before) take care of her two boys and pay bills, make money last, take care of everything! Its been hard for her, along with the fact her ex is being a prat about the whole divorce situation, he wants to give her nothing ~ Seriously nothing and he wants her to take care of the kids without child support ~ Twat as I said, calls her nasty names, assaulted her in front of their kids... just plain bullshit.
 
Now she has this thing where she thinks because I've been through so much I will be able to help her deal with the stres.... errr what? well I can offer advice but I don't feel like I can cope too well myself with stress however she called last night in a total dither! talkingrealfastliketheskywasfalling on    her   head...
 
It was nice that she called in her words "Honey your the ony one I know who says "who gives a fuck" and means it and everything turns out okay, I love ya sis and I just need to be reminded" I almost started crying because she really leant on me last night, it was lovely also hard.
 
Its like over the last year our roles as siblings has reversed, she's the younger one needing a little guiding, I'm the older one with experience that she wants to know about.
 
Has anyone been through this with their siblings before? its strange in a really lovely way.

    i only have an older brother and hes a real asshole. so i couldnt say i know how that feels.

    Yes this sounds very familiar to me actually. I've been through this with my brother too. It seems like there are always times when the roles just reverse themselves. But it works out perfectly most times because just when one of us is falling apart, the other one seems to be really strong and doing well.

    It is a nice feeling, especially when you get to be the one that your older sibling looks up to for a change!

    Hinana ~ Hopefully as you get older you will get on with your brother better.

     

    ET ~ Spot on, it seems I've been doing well overthe last year all though I may not see it that way I cannot comprehend her own hardships, not personally because I haven't been through that.

    My sister and I seem to have switched roles in the past couple of years. When I left my ex she thought I was just giving up. Now, she is in the situation that she is leaving her husband and venturing on to new relationships.

    In a way, I think it is cool that she is willing to share so much with me and we are closer now than we have ever been. On the other hand, she frustrates me because she ask for my advice and then goes out and makes the mistakes anyway. Why ask? Then she calls me up to tell me how horribly wrong things went.

    That was nice that your older sister felt she could lean on you--I feel for her in this situation and wish her luck.

    That aside, yes I know what you mean.  I am the youngest of 5, and have always been treated as if I was "5" myself by them.

    Occasionally, I got the chance to offer advice, or just a ride or something.  The one thing it does is makes me feel like they have had to open their eyes and realize that I have grown up--just because I am younger doesn't mean I'm stupid!

    Exactly Wombie ~ my sister fortunately and I are very close, 18 months apart in age but in experience many years although she has experience in areas I don't. It balances out, I will be calling her today to make sure she's destressing.

     

    Vacant ~ I love being close to my sister, I always have someone to cry with, get drunk with, laugh with and be stupid with.  She never judges me.

    Queenie ~ You know we use to fight like cats and dogs, I mean fight! terrible fights fisty cups and all sorts, it took until we had both moved out of home to sort our relationship out, hang in there it only gets better.
