Have a better relationship with my sister

its kinda hard when my older sister is a drama queen and my little sister is a spoiled crybaby…im a decent sister when i dont have the urge to kill them..

I feel so disconnected from my sister.
sometimes it like she ignores me.
Hopefully I’ll be able to mend things up with her soon.

This is so hard. I do love my sister, and I want to talk to her and get along with her for once, but since she left for college she’s been completely ignoring me. We’ve always argued in the past but now she’s just impossible, I don’t feel connected to her at all.

At 5am!! She got the time difference wrong.
But I rang back at a more civilised hour, before I went to work, and she asked my advice on how to deal with a bulimic friend. I went through major depression a few years ago so she asks my advice on how to deal with people who are struggling with these kinds of things. These are about the only conversations we have where I don’t feel stressed or freaked out. I like that she thinks that I can help her with something, since I’m younger than her.
At least we have some way of communicating and bonding. I just really have to work on the other stuff. We really need some other way to connect other than through my illness…

most of the time I don’t even know where to start. We really have nothing in common. Nothing that I do interests her in the slightest. So in phone conversations I end up not saying anything cause I can’t think of one single thing I could say that she would be interested in. Blah.

...that although our
views on religion
differ utterly, we’ve
discovered that we love
each other too much to
let that get in the way.

i invited my sister to come into sf with me for a mani/pedi (a rare indulgence for me, with all that damn credit card debt, and first time ever for her)and then we went to a wine bar afterward. she’s going thru a divorce, so i think it was good for her to spend some girl time/self time. when we weren’t talking for those 12+ months, i missed her alot. it’s good to have my sister back.

my sister is a personal trainer and she asked me to help choreograph her first group class. until about 4 months ago, we hadn’t talked in a year and a half. re-establishing a relationship was slow-going, but we really connected working on this class. we spent our high-school years in dance club and cheerleading (yeah, i was one of those), so it was neat to do something we used to enjoy together.
