after a family fall out...

[Bobbisox]

Today I have been reunited with my brother !
I'ts sad really because there was no row or anything, just a difference of opinion, me being the youngest of 5 siblings , was always thought of as 'spoilt' and I was.... so a lot of jealousy was incurred, but when you get older and go your seperate ways...it seems all so trivial, and age brings with it, an understanding of other peoples feelings, does anyone else think that when a Mum dies, the catalyst of the family goes with her?
I am so pleased to have spoken to my brother on the phone today, I hope this is the start of a very good New Year for both of us.

That's good Bobbi.

I don't speak to my Sister....and I have no intentions of ever doing so.

i'm glad you sorted things out with your brother, i haven;t spoken to my elder brother for years -he's a Salads Chef my younger brother well we don;t speak much but only becasue we're lazy about keeping in otuch

[daffy654]

I don't speak to any of my siblings or my mum,I have absolutely no intention of ever doing so either.

[redman41]

Blood is thicker than Water as they say Bobbi......how long has it been since you both spoke to each other ?

[mazie]

Good for you Joy. I haven't spoken to my Mum for 6 years following a row. Recently I spoke to one of my cousins about it and said I would like to speak to her. She told me there's no point because my Mum's Alzheimers has got so bad she doesn't know who I am any more!

[daffy654]

I have one of the most dysfunctinal families on the planet Bobbi.lol

I never got on with my elder sister for years.......I was always getting into trouble mainly due to men and she was the goody goody (married now for 42 years) and I thought she disapproved of me. I had a lot of health issues about 5 years ago and she heard about this and helped me an awful lot..........she is now my best friend.

hi bobbi x, hope yous have a braw Christmas and new-year and many more to follow
my brother is the oldest male in the family so he's boss as far as i'm concerned even when he's wrong which is not very often, so we don't ever fall out in a bad way

[Bobbisox]

must be about 20 yrs redman, I have a lovely sister who lives in NZ who I love dearly, she is getting quite old now as she was the second oldest, a brother who lived in Weston Super Mare died of cancer, he was the eldest, another sister....whoaaaaa and OMG, she is Hyacyth Bouquet personified !!!! and she is the third eldest, her and I don't get along at all !!! then my brother who is three yrs older than me, there were two 'sets' so to speak, my Dad was in the RAF so the others were born in that perion whilst me and my brother came along after he was demobbed so there is a large gap between Hyacinth and my brother !

I live within 5 minutes drive of parents, my brothers and their families. We have always been close.

My brothers and me are very similar in personalities and socialise quite a lot.

I am pleased to hear that.
My family fell apart after my mother died as well and we dont keep in touch, sad really but there you go.

[daffy654]

in order of age....

1:My eldest brother is a mentally ill, alcoholic cross-dresser
2:fairly normal sister
3:my next eldest brother is a bisexual punk rocker (aged 48)
4:sister married into money and thinks she is too good for the rest of us
5:sister aged 43 who dresses and acts like a teenager,takes massive amounts of drugs and parties all the time,she also neglected her kids and left it to me to look after them.
6:me-no comment =)
7:fairly normal younger brother

[Bobbisox]

craft thats lovely, but it is a very true saying that you can pick your friends but you can't pick your family,
how true !

[Bobbisox]

well you are a nice person daffy, and isn't that all that matters?

[ummmm]

Although I don't speak to my sister I am very close to the rest of my family and spends lot's of time with my cousins.

[mazie]

my younger sister lives in NZ Bobbi and I miss her like crazy, especially this time of year :o(

[Bobbisox]

when we were kids, the house was always full with the older ones and their partners and kids, then Mum died, and it stopped happening
