Do you get along with your siblings?

Ever since I was a baby, my older brother was my best friend. Now I want him to come home.

My family was always a bit cold, and a little bit stilted. My mother and her brothers and sisters did NOT like to be touched, or kissed, or hugged. My brother and I grew up without the emotional education we needed. Everything my brother and I know today we learned on our own.

I get along with my brother because I make an effort to stay in touch with him. I am always genuinely happy to see him when I do see him...which is very seldom. And I HUG him. 🤣

I'm sorry that your parents weren't affectionate. Maybe if they were you and your brother would be closer now.@4meAndyou
My parents aren't really affectionate anymore either, but I still am!
