Sisters
She doesn't talk to me much these days but after the memorial service yesterday I thought well, she's my sister, I want to be like sisters. I told her, "Just wanted to say hi and see how you are" and she said "fine. everything's good." Then I tried to kind of explain that Marvin had passed away and everyone goes to funerals but I want to be with people when they're alive. She kind of chuckled sort of... said, "Well that's how I live my life already. There's a reason we don't talk much. I don't know what it is. But there's a reason." I said, "I know you had a long day and I just called to say hi, not to stress you out." We said goodbye. And then after I hung up I cried. Still.

I have never really been that close with my bio sibling, probably now more than ever but that doesn't say much, but now I have like 42 siblings in law, and really, siblings put too much pressure on one another, I think. Just because you are in the same family doesn't mean you'll have one damn thing in common.

For me, talking to my brother conjures up images I don't want to see, and so we talk about work (me) and school (him) and our spouses and five minutes later we are done. It works, it keeps us friends. And we roll our eyes at each other when our parents say something weird. But beyond that, we just kind of pretend we met in our twenties or something. At least I do. Much less painful.

Sounds like you've figured it out. I must learn. This is getting ridiculous.
