So I haven't seen my brother for more then 2 days in 3 year

Question

And I miss him like crazy but I'm also really mad at him for not coming home even though he's had chances! Well technically he's my half brother and he used to come home for Christmas and Summer but now he's 20 and he hasn't since he graduated and i really miss him but sometimes i just hate hi9m and i don't want to but he's had chances to come home and he seems like he doesn't me all that much! Well I just found out he's engaged and he's moving out of his mom and step dads house but i realized that that means he's most likely not moving back to where I live either and I'm really upset! so I guess my question is is it normal for me to be mad, is there anyway to make it easier to cope or make it not upset me as much on a frequent basis ?

Answer 1

it is part of life sometimes to not see your siblings.  I haven't seen my one sister for 3 years now, it is just the way it goes.  everybody goes and does their own thing and have their own lives. It happens all over the world.  there are many incidents where the whole family stays in the same area, but tthis world is a big world and theres many places to go.

Answer 2

When I read the header/abstract of question, I felt sad for you. But thinking more there must be some reason... and it may be sheer anger. My opinion on relationships is many a time we give up way to early... and blame the issue on other person. A suggestion would be to make your self happy... forgetting what has gone by... its important you act now. You can visit/meet him once or twice... and see if he is also ok to meet you. If not... then don't feel so sad... give him some occasional calls... to make him feel you care. If it is ok... the every one is happy :)

Answer 3

Well if u miss him sooo much... I think u can also visit him sometime...

But truly saying when one grow up, for him/her one's family takes the higher priority... So I think u can sometime go on ur own and can visit him... Well its really normal to be mad but then u will understand this when u will see urself in ur brother's role... What would u have done??

I think u would get the answer....

Answer 4

Yea it really is one of those things.  Naturally the kids move out and they sometimes don't look back and the parents and younger sibilings they pay the price for them forgetting about their pasts and re-writting it and their futures without us in them! I am the youngest of 8 kids I am now estranged from 2 never hear from or talk to 1 onther, although we should be estranged but we would probably both welcome each other back into our lives although I contacted him via Myspace a few months back after about 3 years of absences and it took him a month to reply and since then nothing, go figure. Well the other 4, two of them live near by we hang out for holidays, the other two one my eldest sister she's 20 years older than I, she calls from time to time tells me to call her more I don't and my last bro he has his life in another state with his 3rd wife and two kids out of a total of 5 and well were not close either he hangs out with me when I go visit my mom who moved down the street from him but that's about it!  I'm only sharing because I've been there, I'm 37 and the closest in age the two sibilings I am estranged from are 6 and 10 years older than I, and the bottom line is eventually you grow up and apart unfrotunatley, but only time will dictate which path you end up taking to!  Best of luck to you and oh yea they are all my half sibilings I don't have any full sibilings so they are all I ever will have I never saw them as half either I really don't understand that concept anyway!
