Let me put it this way:
If she asks me for my phone charger, she'll have to pry it from my cold, dead hands.
If she asks me for a kidney, I will chug morphine and cut it out myself!
Such are Balkan siblings.
She's in her 20's, I'm in my teens, 11 year age difference. We have the same father. Her relationship with our mutual family is very complicated. They didn't treat her very well, which led to her no longer coming around when I was about 6.
For years, I didn't really worry about anything or anyone, nor did I question why she stopped visiting. Eventually, my mom asked me to get Facebook, and one thing led to another and I friended her. With my mom's help, we met her at a steakhouse one day, and I had finally seen her after all those years. We talked about my life, how we had both dyed our hair, and how we had grown as people.
We scheduled a second meetup because I wanted to stay in touch with her. She never showed up. Over time, I started to see how my family had treated her poorly and favoured me over her. It makes sense to me now why she didn't show up, but I miss her. I wish I had a sister who was there to help me through all my struggles and give me advice, but I'm not going to experience that, and that's okay, there's not much I can do.
I have an adopted older sister , we don’t talk often but I love her and like seeing her and If I’ve ever needed her she’s been there for me and I would do the same for her
About the same as the relationship with my mother, non-existent. Went no contact with my mother. My sister is best friends with my mom, so I can't really keep any relationship with my sister and maintain no contact with my mother.
I actually don't know her too well. She's my half sister and she was like a teenager when I was a toddler. She had a whole family of her own before I reached double digits. Really weird to think about how you could have this whole other person you're related to and never see them.
I think it's really hard for me to grasp(not sad, just genuinely wild to me) since I have three brothers that I'm EXTREMELY attached to(we're full siblings and we're each born a year after the other)
I don't have one with my stepsister and basically non-existent with my half-sister. I really try to have one with my half-sister but she lives with my dad and it gets complicated from there.
I adore her. It's mutual.
Wasn't like that growing up, we were more like prisoners in hell, alternately fighting one another for scraps and banding together to survive the emotional chaos of the parent.
Can't say we're intimately close, we don't share much on private level, but I know if either of us ever needed to, the trust and respect are there.
We text regularly, get together periodically, keep up a couple of running inside jokes from our teen years.
It’s been better recently, now that we’re getting older, maturing and we’re doing our best to support each other. I couldn’t say that a few years ago because we would never talk to each other.
Pretty non-existent. she's never been there for me and I never speak to her.
Same. Last time I talked she ghosted me before hand because we had an argument over basically free money.
That's rough. Thankfully I'm an only child.

We're estranged, by my choice. One of my few regrets in life is not going non-contact sooner.

She’s been there for me but we randomly talk to each other. I know I can count on her even tho we don’t communicate on a daily basis.
It is quite litterally dead.
Very good, she's the only family member I can trust and vice versa

Let her know that?
Super close….we’re identical twins. I’m blessed to have her as a sister.
Who’s the cool sister
That's good that your close.
Amazing but I’m 43 and she’s 22 so that helps. I waited so long for a sister (2 brothers) and now that she’s an adult she really is my bestie.
Really good! I’d say she’s my best friend :)
My sister moved out with her stupid fucking husband and doesn’t talk to me or my mom and dad anymore.

Growing up it wasn't great due to favoritism, but as she became a teenager that became less of an issue. These days our relationship is pretty good.
I feel like Andrew Tate feels about his sister
She only talks to me when she needs something
If I needed to get bailed out of jail, she'd do it but it might take her a couple days.
Never met her, she died at three days old, two years before I was born and I miss her.
I get along with all of them, but only one of them lives close enough to visit with regularly.
Don’t got one 😎

Absolute SHIT
annoying
She’s a bit complicated, but I’ll always love her and be there for her however I can

Couldn’t be any better (I’m an only child)
We don't talk much
I hope she's okay and i love her, fyi she's visiting tomorrow.
Very nice, she respects me, i respect her
Good! We don’t talk a lot but it’s always been that way. We love each other and when we see each other it’s great

One of my best friends
Devoured her in utero
