I have a lot of siblings. I was born the only boy in the family, with four older sisters.
Sister 1: I think somewhere between 9-12 years older than me. She graduated from high school and moved out either before I started school or right around that time. I don't have much memory of her living with us. Today, she is an ultra-religious tea partier and I'm a liberal atheist. I've tried to get along with her but we are polar opposites in every way. And she fails to acknowledge that the person I am today has very little to do with the toddler she remembers me being. She's incapable of seeing me as anything but the toddler she grew up with, despite the fact that I'm 30 years old.
Sister 2: 6 years older than me. Growing up, she was sort of like a second mother to me. She always helped me with my homework and tried to look out for me. Today, we're not as close as we probably could be, but we get along just fine. She's way more understanding of our differences than Sister 1.
Sister 3: 3 years older than me. She bullied me relentlessly growing up. We fought like crazy. Then in our teen years we actually started to get along. For a few years as young adults, we were pretty much best friends. Nowadays, we still get along fairly well, but we're becoming very different people. She kind of gets on my nerves sometimes. She still has the same anger management issues she had as a kid, and I really hope she can get help with that. As for religion, she's never been big on the Church, so we have that in common. Although she is prone to all kinds of other new age magical thinking, and that can be just as bad as if she were Christian.
Sister 4: 2 years older than me. Growing up, we were not close at all. I think she saw me as competition for our parents attention. Plus, we were both getting bullied by Sister 3, although she had a more direct rivalry with her. I get along with Sister 4 better today than I ever have. I think part of that has to do with the fact that both of us have been through our own divorces. Spiritually, she's also into a lot of the new age nonsense Sister 3 is into, but she seems more understanding of my pragmatic views.
