A cold sister???? Recently my mom has asked me this question for many times "why don't you visit your dad? Don't you care about him and your brother?". All that I can answer is "I don't want to". To make it clear, my parents divorced and my father remarried with a woman. They already had a 3-year-old boy, who is my half-blood brother (as I said before). I live with my mother instead and when I was in highschool, I used to visit my father very often (almost every weekend). My dad and I hardly talked to each other. Everytime I stayed at his house, we just met at dinner then I went my room upstairs, he stayed downstairs and watched TV. He never asked me anything about my life (even when I passed the university exam, he didn't know). About my brother, he is quite a good boy. I think he likes me and I quite like him too. But I feel that our relationship is not close enough. He's too small while I'm not the type of person who like children. We didn't talk for more than 15 minutes, I think. Though I haven't visited my brother for a long time, I don't feel like missing him. Is that strange? My father, it's fine. I'm accustomed to the life without him. But what about my brother? My mother keeps asking me this question and she said that I was a cold sister. Maybe I am. I dont' know. I can't answer that myself. If anyone reads this entry, please help me!

Reira, its very good that both of you can talk for 30 minutes, most of children can't even do that, and we don't have to fight if we disagree with each other, we have to think that what is important to us our relationship or our discussion, surely the former is more important than winning or loosing an argument. Moreover, every relationship in life is complex, you have to find a way for it and continuous positive communication is the only way. Best of luck:)))

@nabeel: Well, I tried to share with him many times but it seemed like we couldn't talk for at least 30 inutes. And we sometimes fought because we didn't share the same opinion. It's very complex to explain to you but my father and I don't get along very well with each other. However, thanks for your advice :)

Reira, sometimes a person isn't cold, he or she just might not be in a very good mood, it could be for a shorter time or for a longer you see you used to visit your dad and brother, so you aren't cold, I think your mother is saying this because she wants you to be with them. You said your father don't ask things about your life, why not you start sharing with him on your own, even if he doesn't ask it would be hard for sometime, for both of you but I hope it will work. And you are lucky that your brother loves you that means you are a good person at heart and he knows that. Reira the key is share yourself with your family. Hope it helps:))))
