Lack of village

I understand that. It is never a guarantee.

Because we live in a military community friends come and go at an even faster rate.

I’ve met a lot of people who have a bad relationship or no relationship at all with their sibling. I on the other hand, love my siblings dearly. I am a female with two brothers. One is one year younger and the other is ten years younger. I talk to both of them all of the time and don’t know what I would do without them. If they ever needed anything I would be there to support them in any way I could. Don’t get me wrong, we have had some pretty serious fights but we have always forgiven each other. It’s a bond stronger than any friendship I ever had. My husband also loves his two siblings as well. None of our siblings have kids of their own so I’m always fighting my fear that my son will grow up and feel all alone in this world.

For the first time in 6 years I feel plagued by my thoughts so here I am browsing this subreddit trying to find comfort.

But hey we can’t have anything right?
