I miss my brother. - Help.com

Pick up the phone and tell him you miss him.

Well this isn’t really about your brother is it…. it’s about what you need to do for yourself…. you want to connect with him and how he receives it is down to him… it can’t hurt…. telling someone they are important to you, that you miss them, that you’d like them to be part of your life more shouldn’t provoke a negative response unless there is bad blood between you… it might be the start of a new relationship between you both… a relationship based on being adults.

I miss mine too. I don’t have a lot.

I don’t find any reason why you should not let him know he is being thought about.

Oh, i don’t know your brother that much for me to realize. Well anyway, you can’t do a thing about it.

other than 2 things.

1.call him
2.realize that people have their own lives and they can decide upon it even if they are your own blood.

I have half sisters in my mother side. One of them is not close to me. We have grown apart. But i make my own decisions (not getting married to the guy i have introduced him to which she questioned a lot. And i did not mind it anyway. I believe it was a decision i have to decide. On my own.

My situation is far different than yours but just letting you know that sometimes, people have their own ways on doing things.

How old are you ?

Tell me about yourself. Are you working? you seem to be a little emotionally in need. I am 31 and i lived by myself when i was 19. I think i already got used to thinking i am the captain of the ship. No one is responsible for my happiness and even if my parents broke up when i was too young to understand, i still kept in mind everyone is responsible for their own actions and that i don’t have to know what my family members are up to with their choices of their own lives.

If it is true that you are coming from southeast asia, i understand why you are a bit sad. Most asian families are closely knit and all. And less children can’t cope with the way how families turned up in their kinship.

But reality sinks in as you are now an adult.

Reminding you of the choices i asked you to do. Or you may get another choice as you live your life the way it should be. It is alright to miss your brother or your family. That is very normal and understandable. But i hope it is not hindering you to live your own life to the fullest.

If your brother does not care to contact you no matter how you reach out, it does not make you less of a person that what you are now. Live your life, get a good job, have friends….everything is possible! :)

Thank you for trusting me with your story. Indeed coping is not easy for a child without parents. We are the same yet my parents were separated when i was three. I grew up with my mom who was not that nice to me. She had a boyfriend who lived in our house who she introduced as her cousin. :S petty isn’t it?

Dad has not been been around as he worked far away and so i was left with no one to turn to. Just like you, i was a shy girl in class. Shy because i felt like i was always hated or frowned upon because i was different (they had both parents at a family day in school or PTA) and i had a mom who did not even care to buy me books for school.

My half sister married very early and i think she felt like it was better to get away from our home. That left me alone and i became less and less sociable.

Like you, my grandma was not as nice. She introduced me to her friends and told them i was a daughter of a ****. and she did that while i was there, listening to them.

Like you, i lived in a strict home, i was not allowed to play. I think that is one of the reasons why i have always been unsure of my decisions in my life and takes me a long time to decide what is for me and what destroys me.

So dear child, i feel for you. You are not alone.

And thank you for listening as well.

Hi there, sorry i have been too busy with some stuff so took me long.

I’m glad you talked to him :) so glad for you. That is the first step. And before you know it, everything will be fine.

I don’t have a big family, i’m a single parent of a 7 year old.

I hope things are fine for ya.
