I´m waiting for my sister.

My sister is in Santiago as my BIL will have a cactaract procedure. She will come alone, as usual, as my BIL does not want to see me. Nor, after over 10 years do I want to see him. They either stay at my brother´s house or at my BIL´s sisters´ home. And my sister comes for a little while to say hello. It is weird that I feel closer to people that are not blood relatives than to people of my own blood. I even feel closer to many of you, mylot friends, than to them. Do you have problems with your blood relatives?

Yes, I have problems with my brother, even if yesterday he sent me a message... I hope he needs nothing.

@marguicha Exactly. Yesterday it was my brother's birthday. As I always did, I sent him a simple "Happy Birthday". He never thanked, but yesterday he thanked and asked if I am well. I am concerned.

Not like that no. Did you have a fight with your bro in law?

@snowy22315 It seems that my BIL told her then that if he saw me again, he´d have heart problems. Later on, several years after we had stopped seeing each other, he had open heart surgery. Not my fault, I thought.

I don't have any blood relatives. All I have left are my daughter, grandson, granddaughter and three great grandchildren. That is it.

I didn't get along well with my brother but we were still on speaking terms when he passed away.

My brother invites me once in a while to dine out. But they do not invite me to their house.

@marguicha Sometimes there is no changing these types of circumstances.

As you know, my father disowned me when I moved out at 21. He wouldn't come to our wedding when I invited him several months later. I haven't seen any blood relatives in over 50 years.

It is their loss, of course.

Yes I do have problems. Some relatives can make life quite chaotic

We all get along well. I am close to my sister’s. Our brother doesn’t come around much. We feel that his wife doesn’t care for us. He will occasionally get together with us minus her.
