I Am Not Very Close With My Relatives

I had a very troubled home life, my father was very abusive. My brother sister and I we close as kids in as much as we stood up for each other tried to protect, even tho it seemed hopeless at times. Some how as we aged and moved out of the home, we got very distant and involved in our own lives, my sister is a drug addict and over he years we have tried to help, but to no avail so sadly she and I don’t have much contact. My brother lives close it he seems to bury himself in his work so he doesn’t have to deal with much of life. I in the last few years have been struggling with very serious health issues that are getting worse, I find myself wishing I had a sister to sit with and talk to about my fears and happy things, a brother that I could lean on when I’m scared, and watch a few games with. Instead we do the passing hello how are you and the kids at Thanksgiving or Christmas. I see my friends that have close ties with their siblings and Long for that, and am becoming painfully aware that it may never happen in my lifetime. It just makes me sad. So go hug your sisters and brothers tell them what they mean to you,hopefully they will give one back and tell you you mean just as much. Xxxooooxxxx ~Angel
