Sisters...I have four of them.  Two I get along with, one that I hope I never see again, and one that was like my mother whom I am not on speaking terms with.   I am the youngest.  The oldest is 14 years older than me.  We are very fractured as a result of my passing parents estate.  Fighting over stuff, money, and mostly egos.  

The one sister is a rage-a-holic, oh and an addict to prescription drugs.  She would need to go through some serious spin-dry for me to allow her back into my life.  Toxic is the best word I have for her.  I've tried to help her so many times, and she just turns on me...us, that I don't even feel a loss for removing her from my life.  I can't have her around me or my kids anymore.

The other sister was as close to me as my mother was.  After my dad passed, I discovered that she and her husband had been planning to screw me out of tens of thousands of dollars.  I was stunned and so very sad.  I trusted her with my life and believed in her.  After 5 months of no contact, I got a call from her.  One would think it would be for some reconcilliation.  No, it was about estate property and trying to get me roped into fighting for her again.  She was distant and angry...like I did the screwing.  It left me confused.  I miss her, but can't seem to get passed her selfishness.  Do I really want something that unhealthy in my life?  I was sad the past 5 months, but enjoyed not being on the emotional up and down. 

When we were all young adults, we would have fun when we got together.  So sad it is over.  I guess you don't have to die to have the loss of a relationship. 

So to all of you that have sisters that you can laugh, cry, and love with...treasure every moment.  Call or email them and thank them for being in your life.
