Mine too. I only have one sibling. My big sister. We never fought or argued but we live VERY different lives. I reach out through phone calls and eMails. They are never answered promptly. Maybe 6 months. Maybe not at all. I haven't seen her since our moms funeral 7 years ago.
I emailed her a few years ago that dad has dementia and always asks about her. I told her that if she wants to see him while he still remembers her it should be soon. No response. She hasn't called or visited him in years.
My wife was diagnosed with breast cancer last week. After talking to all our friends and family I picked up the phone to call my sister but never dialed. I guess I don't feel like the call would matter. She feels no family obligations or connection at all. No childhood trauma. No abuse. She's a brilliant underachiever. Lost a decade or two to drugs and the life that goes with it. I miss her. Wish we could talk sometimes.
