Is it normal to have siblings who don't talk to you?

To never go out with them?
To never have a conversation?

To be practically strangers?

Seems so. I have 4 brothers, one half-sister and one younger sister. I only talk to my next oldest brother who wished for me regularly. I ask about my sisters. After my dad and mom died, everyone parted ways. The way my brothers except the one treated my mother was beyond words. Who does that to their mother? Scumbags. I don't miss them not one single bit. I am not about money. I am about hearts and caring and love. I think you have to work at staying in touch if that is what you want. If they are good. So work on it if you wish.

@PoetryNEmotion we've never had a relationship though. I blame my parents for allowing it honestly. We never did anything together despite living in the same house. And I wish I could say I was exaggerating

@iamnikki the way family was raised is the root of it.

@cherokeepatti Not necessarily. We were all close as children. We weren't allowed friends. Life and time changed it as we grew.

@iamnikki How about trying to connect? If you want it, start slowly. Then build upon it. Everything good takes time and effort.

@PoetryNEmotion I have tried . Multiple times.

@iamnikki Then what else can you do? Leave it be. Make friends who are your family. And don't look back. Do your parents take responsibility? Geez.

@PoetryNEmotion try again? I think part of it is that they are twins. They've been together their whole lives. Why let me in? That's probably their thoughts. Probably dont want me to get in-between their relationship somehow. I think they are also jealous. But we have the same parents, grew up in the same house and had the same opportunities

@iamnikki Twins are different. You cannot be a part of twins. Still, you are siblings. Why didn't your parents help? Twins are like two souls created together. Move forward, Nikki.

@PoetryNEmotion why can't i be a part of twins?
Are you saying I can't have a relationship with them because they are twins? I don't know why they didn't help
