My sister is in town because my BIL will have cataracts surgery. She is staying at my brother´s house and she´ll come to visit me for a little while tomorrow.
I´m looking foward to her visit. My BIL had a one side fight with me about 15 years ago (or maybe more) and I´m not welcome to his house and he won´t come to mine. Everything is very weird but I have stopped trying to understand it. It just is. So when they come to Santiago for any reason, my sister comes alone for a while to talk to me.
I cherish those moments although with the passing of time there are less things to talk. I have a much easier relation with Dixie or even with some other friends. I see them more often or we talk my phone. And now that I think of it, I have a closer relation with some of you than with part of my family.
So be it. Let´s be happy with what we have.
Do any of you have such problems?

As you know, I haven't seen my family in over 50 years.

Linda, you are part of this family right here. It's not the same, I know. Your family did not do right by you, it's very sad.

I'm glad you'll get to visit with your sister tomorrow and hope things go well. I hope her hubby does well with the surgery.
Yes, we have problems with some of my family... We haven't seen some of them for 20-something years or maybe more. I only talk with one brother and his wife now. My sister keeps trying to send me texts but I blocked her number. She doesn't try to come over anymore which is fine. I wouldn't let her in the house anyway.

Why was it? Couldn´t you forgive her if she did something wrong in the past?

@marguicha She and her hubby are insane. I don't want to deal with them.

I don´t even know what I said if I said anything. It was, as I said, a one sided fight. I don´t care anymore. I was hurt for a long time but now I don´t care. My sister comes alone when they come to Santiago and I know that she loves me.

I moved on too. The only thing that makes me care about his health is because otherwise my sister might suffer. But he is a complete stranger to me now. His loss.

@marguicha - It was my brother's birthday the past month. I thought it was a nice gesture to send a message to wish him Happy Birthday. He answered saying "I do not understand your message": Well, he is a jerk.

I do not get along with some of my older relatives since being the youngest child, I am viewed as a momma's boy.

I am glad you will get to see your sister, Marga. Sometimes it’s hard when someone in the family causes problems, I am glad you can visit together.

@MarieCoyle My sister is sweet. But her husband decided that he did not like to have me around years ago. So it is difficult.

I only had the one sister, and we were very close in age. We shared a strong bond. She passed away very young, in 2003. All of those years ago, and I still think of her every day and miss her.
It's so hard when you have to work around family members that are not pleasant. I"m sure sorry.

I just went on a trip with my sister, and it is the only thing I can think of where she invited me somewhere. She’s always acted like I didn’t matter. I don’t know what prompted her to invite me, but I’m glad she did.
It’s wonderful that you get to spend time with your sister. I’m sure she’s happy about it too.

My Mom and her brother (my Uncle) had a falling out where the only way they would communicate was through their Lawyers. As a result, his children (cousins)and my sister and I don't have a relationship anymore with our cousins which is so sad because we were close as children.

That's sad. Sometimes family stuff gets complicated as we get older.

No more family except for some relatives in Latvia, I hope you enjoy your visit with your sister. No matter what I will put in a prayer that your BIL has a good surgery,
