I have a stepsister who, god willing, I will never have to speak to again. I haven't spoken with her in years, and if I do again, it'll be too soon. She's just not a likeable person. She can't change, and neither can I.
I have a brother who I love. But we never talk. He's about to have his first child. Things are "tense", and there's too much backstory to bore the board. Suffice it to say, I regret much with my little brother. I wish I'd been a better brother to him. There's a big chasm there, and I probably can't fix it...some of it's him, some of it's me. I suppose my failings here explain why I overcompensate as a father and husband. I don't seem to be able to maintain healthy relationships with other adult males...I like hanging around with the guys, but I never do much to stay in touch if they don't exert tremendous effort to include me in their lives.
The women in my life on the other hand...there, I overcompensate and lavish with attention. I have no idea why I'm wired that way. Odd....
