As bad as it may sound I honestly have to agree with whoever said (gonna put under spoiler) siblings are nothing more than

Spoiler

strangers coming out the same place you have

or something. It's normal that some of them become your best friends, some your worst enemies, some are just indifferent and eventually move on with their lives. Blood ties often mean nothing.

Kinslaying is abhorrent in the eyes of men and the gods, old and new.

I've learned this the hard way.

My siblings are miserable, selfish fools. I may be soaring high but goddamn if their pessimism, apathy and hatred of me doesn't get to me sometimes. Coming out as trans only made them take me less seriously the last 9 months.

Contrary to the cliche', blood is not, in fact, thicker than water. People are people. That you share DNA doesn't change that. Every douchebag out there has family.

One of my brothers is a selfish, junkie piece of shit who pretty much ruined my parents' lives. So no, it's not wrong to hate them.

'Family above all' is a silly maxim that can result in a lot of pain depending on the relationship in question.

If your sibling has a history of negatively impacting your well-being - i.e. they're exhibiting outright abusive behavior - then it's probably worth limiting your exposure or cutting ties (particularly if you are past a certain age).

It's unfortunate to have no love for your siblings, but everyone's situation is obviously different. I love my sibling more than pretty much everything in this world. We have definitely had our ups and downs, and extreme altercations both verbal and physical. We are a pretty dysfunctional family. But my siblings are one of the few things that give me the perspective, and motivation to wake up each day.

My younger brother and I are especially close. Christ, we have had so many altercations, issues, and physical fights, but he is easily my best friend. Hell, he's my only friend!

At least she's working and trying to do what's best for the kid, what about you OP, are you the loner type with not that much social interaction and that's why you hate her and have to cut her down like you do.

Also bringing the kid into it is pretty gross.

Maybe just maybe you're the dick?!

No, sorry not the case. She's not humble. She doesn't see the weight of the burden she places on family. Worse, she judges everyone else despite being the one that has the biggest issues both emotionally and financially. It's ridiculous but i guess it can always be worse when the " at least she has a job" is the bar we're going to measure people by.

And i really cant' stand this pass we give people in society because they chose to have a kid they can't afford. Da fuck? how is that anyone else's problem but your own? Very weird comment to make.
