My twin brother lives a two minute drive away from me, and my younger sister lives hundreds of miles away at the opposite end of the country.
They both have depression and anxiety like me...
I've mentioned before that my brother endured the same abuse that I did growing up, and I always thought my sister didn't (except for witnessing the abuse my brother and I suffered), but records show she suffered too...
My brother is stuck in an emotionally and sometimes physically abusive home with at the hands of his wife. He stays for the kids and because he still loves his wife. He's had it hard, but it has changed him... childhood has changed him too but he hasn't acknowledged it. He has become a benefit cheat and he told me recently that he shoplifts too. I don't know what to do with all that...
He doesn't call me or text me unless he wants to boast about a new purchase or is in trouble. I text him but I don't hear anything.
I miss my twin so much.
He came round and helped with a few maintenance issues at home the other day because I was in an anxious state and our letting agents aren't helping. He was so helpful he fixed things. I miss him so much. Like I mean I miss our old relationship... I miss him in general.
My sister... she's always been quiet. As kids and teenagers my brother and I were inseparable and excluded her a lot. She has low self esteem and is also stuck in an abusive manipulative relationship with a guy who treats her badly. No one can tell her though... she shuts down. I feel for their kids from what I hear from what my mum says about her partner and their home life.
She also doesn't call me. I have to call or text her always. Been the same for years. I miss my sister so much. I video called my mum today and got to see my sister for the first time in two years (her partner over the years has moved her from our town to the next, and then to the next, and then to the opposite end of the country). I miss her so much...
I just want to sit and talk with my twin and my sister and have a normal relationship. I want them to be happy. I want to be happy. I also want to talk about our childhoods...
Feeling emotional today...

), and there was a knock at the door... I said to my wife that I didn't think we were expecting a delivery or anything, and so I went and answered the door. My twin brother was standing there with his fifteen week old black labrador puppy! He never just pops round... (My excitement wasn't about the puppy before you ask - I'm not a dog person.)
