ugh....

lovely news (sarcasm)....

I was on my computer the other day, i heard my mom and my sister (19) fighting....well it was more of mom yelling at her for 20 minutes straight. It appears that my mom has pushed her too far and my sister is now living with friends. I thought it would be temorary, but apparently not...shes not coming home till friday to discuss leagle issues. Me and my sister were never close, people always told me we would be. Now shes out and the only good bye like thing she gave was a voicemail to my mom telling her shes not coming back. I dont want to loose touch with my sister... does any one have any ideas for a girl who was never close to her sister but doesnt want to loose her?

OMG - Do I hear where you are coming from. My sister and I love each other but keep our distance. The only time we talk is if she is really upset about something or if she got in trouble she will call - The only thing I can say is write to her. Write a letter to her express how you feel and that you do love her and you want her to keep in touch with you. This should open the door for some communications, she may even write you a letter back. Sisters and mothers seem to have their struggles sometimes mom's and daughters are so much alike that they can actually bang heads and seperation is a good thing, everyone needs a cool down period. So don't think this will last forever it most likely won't.

All I can say from my experience just write a letter... It should help a little..

I too have a very strained relationship with my sister. We used to be really close, but events recently have made that not the case any longer. I agree the letter approach is a good one. It will give you the ability to sit down and say exactly what you want without getting too overly emotional. I wish you luck, and I hope it works out for you and your sis.

I don't think you'll lose touch. You are both young still.

I've never been close to my sister. We stop talking all the time due to how different we are (polar opposites). We never really got along as kids, hated each other as teens, and in our adult lives? Just too different to get along. I only see her during big holidays, sometimes not even then.

We email each other, but it's rare. Very rare. Seems there are lots of siblings who don't get along. I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one.

Anyways I doubt you'll completely lose touch.

thanks all... i dunno...laura was goth...turned ummmm woah, i dont know how to describe her now ummmm ... HATE BUSH! ... PRO CHOICE!!!....NON CONFORMIST!!!....KURT KOBAIN!!!...PROTESTS!!! ....yea that works pretty well. And thats completely differnt then who i am... she is so serious about topics that i just can not think of what to say to her. I was talking to my dad about how our neighboorhood has changed and we almost live in a ghetto... laura TWEAKED out and started screaming about how we do not live in a ghetto and i have no idea what im talking about. Yea, just stuff like that... i cant just talk to her, never have...i think she just stopped in to grab some stuff and left agian without saying anything.

update...
from what my mom has said, laura is looking for a full time job, and a full time house. And has asked my mom to stop calling her over the cell and crying to her. Lovely no?

i think after she calms down, cant find a job(or a good one) and realizes how much it is to live on her own she'll come back home.. lol

Awww, some hugs for you!
