My sister drove 200 miles round trip to leave Christmas presents on my front porch.

Hi Sluff,
I guess you would have posted if you had heard from your sis, but I was just thinking of you. I have 2 sisters, one is cranky and the other is fun. You may have one, if you'd like.
My brother... well, don't get me started.
If it weren't for friends I'd have almost no family!
Makes me even more grateful for you and the rest of the IHD family!

You can say that again my friend, why do you think i am here all the time, not only for the support but for the family atmosphere i feel from all of you. 
Okarol, that's a BIG "AMEN" to you sister, i am forever grateful for all of you. 

[thegrammalady]

sluff, it isn't just you family, i have a cousin who hasn't spoken to her sister in over 25 years. if the find themselves in attendance at the same family function carol walks to the other side of the room if Mariylin enters. carol will talk to everyone in the family even marilyn's children. just not marilyn. i know why she's so angry, but 25 years is a long time to carry a grudge and marilyn divorced the idiot that started the feud a long long time ago. but i still hope they make up before one of them dies.

[Sluff]

UPDATE: Still have not heard a thing from my Sister or my family.

[Romona]

This thread makes me want to cry. I guess no family is perfect, mine included. It is so funny when people are raised together and are just so different.
I think you are an awesome brother!

[Sluff]

Thanks Romona.

[Amanda From OZ]

I'm sorry to hear that sluff. I still do hope that one day that will wake up to themselves and contact you.

But remember you always have us.

You can say that again!

Thank you all.

Sluff - I just read this and it makes me so sad.  Family can be the worst!  Friends definitely make up for family.

I know how you feel though.  I have 5 brothers and sisters.  My parents don't talk to 4 of us, they have dis-owned us.  The best is, we have all turned out to be great people, no problems with law, substance/alcohol abuse.  All, except 1 (youngest bro) are married with children.  My parents have even dis-owned their grandchildren.  My oldest niece was 12 when it started, she was the closest with them.

The reason?  Mom is an alcoholic, hates the world, thinks everyone is evil and out to get her.  She is also a very cold woman.  So cold that when I was going through preparations for my first marriage, she actually told me she never loved me and wished that I was never born.  All because I snapped at her when I was trying wedding dresses on.  Dad is bitter, hates people, recovering alcoholic.  They hate each other, but still remain married.  My parents got mad when I was dating Rob because he is a diabetic and had a couple of foot infections that landed him in the hospital.  They are mad at my other bro & sisters for other stupid reasons. 

I stopped talking to them 5 1/2 years ago and it was the best thing I ever did.  They are too toxic for me and my family.  Because I stopped talking to them, they decided to disown me.  It was a domino affect for my bro & sis'.  I get sad when I see & read stories of people close with their parents, but I just couldn't deal with them.  They don't even know we have a newly adopted son.  The good news is, I know I will never be like that with my son.  I am happy to say I am the total opposite of my parents, I'm a better person for it.

I hope your sister responds to you and you are able to make up.  You will probably never be the closest of friends, but at least you can try to bury the hatchet.

Good luck! 

[goofynina]

  Hugs to you Skyedog..... You'll always be family to me 

[angellady07]

Sluff, I hope you hear from your family soon. Just remember you have a very large extended family. We all care.

[okarol]

Sluff, Christmas is coming. Maybe this year you could set up a hidden cameraon the porch, catch your sis dropping gifts, then post it on Youtube so we can all see her army crawl across the lawn with a bag of gifts in her teeth so she doesn't get caught and have to say hello!
