I'm terribly sad about my family growing apart?

Question

So, i have grown up with 3 older siblings. I remember when i was the little 6 year old and they were teenagers and they'd all pick on me, and my sister would froof me up, as if i was a doll. now they are all graduated from college, and i'm 13, i've still got like 5 years to go, and i miss my family!! i won't have the same realtionship with them ever(brothers and sisters) any advice?

Answer 1

don't be sad. things change, but it doesn't always have to be bad. i grew up with three older aunts and uncles (they were like my siblings) and they all graduated high school and went off when i was about 11. i was sad they left, but they still came home to see me and take me places.

no, you won't have the same relationship, but you will have a new one. you're growing up now, and while they'll still see you as their little sister, one day you'll be their big little sister. :) keep in touch with them as much as you can. call them and let them know you miss them and want to see them. i'm sure they won't turn you down.

it's really sweet that you care about your family, sometimes it feels like you don't see that anymore.

Answer 5

Just because they're moving off on their own, and going in their own directions, doesn't mean that you're relationship is going to change for the worse.

Look at it this way, they all still love you, you still love them all. Having that many big brothers and sisters, all living in different areas means.. you probably will get to go visit and spend weekends with them from time to time, when mom and dad say it's ok. Besides that, now that they're all "adults" it means you get to annoy them, and get away with alot of it, at least until your a bit older.

I moved out when I was 20, my little sister was 10.. she looked at is as she had "two homes" one with her sister, and another with mom. We've ended up being the best of friends, as she knows I'm always here when she needs me, no matter where I am.

And, for the record.. we still annoy and hang out with each other as often as possible. :)

You might have a better relationship with them when you are all adults, so don't worry. Once you are no longer the little kid, they will respect you and you will have more in common with them.

See if you can connect with them on Facebook or MySpace and keep in touch with them every day.
