Siblings...

[Groo the Wanderer]

I have 4 older sisters who have fallen away from the Faith and one younger brother that never embraced it.

I pray for their conversion and that of their kids.

2 sisters are liberals, 2 are more conservative. My brother is just a dork.

Lol, why? Because most of my siblings are on PM? And both of my sisters married/are getting married to PM dudes? Yeah, it is funny isn't it?

I forgot to tell everyone how much I love my PM brothers-in-law too. L_D is the big brother I never had and phatcatholic is pretty close to that too I heart them

Technically, I'm an only child.
From my father's previous marriage, he has 2 kids, but I never grew up with them and I didn't see them often. They're waaaay older, with my bro being 29 and my sister being 27. I'm not really close to them.

No...I knew your family ties to phatmass way off when I started in phatmass. I just find the way you worded it awesome.

I have one brother that is ten years older than me from my dad's first marriage that ended in a bitter divorce thirty years ago. Unfortunately, they still are on bad terms and my brother is commitment phobic because of it and had behavioral problems growing up. I saw him more when I was a baby and toddler but not nearly as much after that. He lived in another town with his mom and step dad. I mainly just saw him on special occasions and for his basball games. He could have spent more time with us later on since he lived closer but for whatever reason didn't choose to see us much. He moved to another town and was a police officer for a time but wasn't happy there, so he moved to a far off state to get his bachelors degree. Last Christmas Eve he really showed an interest in me (which he hadn't had) and it's clear that he's a protective older brother. He said that if it were up to him that he would never let me marry anyone (though he'd make an exception for Jesus. ) So there's hope for our relationship to change.

My parents had a miscarried baby when I was eleven. I never got to meet him, and I had really wanted another sibling since my half brother was hardly even around and was acking to no longer be basically an only child. At thirteen my parents had a baby boy. He is so incredible, even though he pretends that he hates me.

I have a younger sister that is a university graduate and she no longer lives in the home. She decided to stay in the town where her alma mater is. I miss her so much! She doesn't come home very often because she works full-time.

We used to have rivalry fights, but with her absence, I feel like there is someone missing (which there used to be, but now I know she's not returning). Now that I'm in formal discernment and I will most likely be entering the convent this year, it's even harder for me since I want to spend time with my family. Why did she have to move away??
