Blog if I want to, you would blog too if it happened to you!!….
So my sister and I got into an argument today by way of email, great thing technology! She told me in her final email to not go blogging about our conversations! lol…ya right. It’s my blog, my life and if I want to tell people about it, I can!
Actually we settled things enough to stay friendly. She called me on her way home from work to make sure I guess. Funny thing is my mom called later on and I thought oh no, now what? It was nothing, she had no idea about the argument. Just as well, she would not have understood it anyway.
The one thing that bothers me most is why do I feel the need to defend myself against her? She is not my parent just my sister. She is my equal, even if she is older. I chose a different path in life than her. So what? I am happy with my life and what I am doing with it. I guess she is happy with her life as well. Good for her. I don’t come down on her for her choices, so why get on me for mine. I know she might read this but she won’t comment so I am not worried. I love her but she gets to me sometimes.
I hate divorce because if my parents hadn’t divorced then our family would not have divorced. My sister and brother lived with my dad after they divorced. That not only changed my relationship with my dad but with the both of them. They are closer to each other as a result. And me living 2 hours away for the last 13 years has also contributed to the issue. I guess one day we might get along better and not argue about the same stupid stuff. Until then, I guess I will have to learn some strategies.

No divorce in my family, but my sister and I have issues because she feels that I abandoned her when I left home. She is 7 years younger than me. We are still working on an adult relationship.
