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.
