My sister and I are not best friends. Still, she knows me better than anyone.

This didn't come as a surprise, because as a teenager, I remember it exactly this way. Living parallel lives together as sisters. It was only ever the two of us, and with our ages so close together - I'm not even two years older - you might think we were inseparable. It just wasn't how it was. We were so different We were night and day different then.

The Way My Sons Treat Each Other Is Breaking My Heart. I Blame Their Father.

While having them 12 months apart wasn't the plan, it's what it is. What I'm finding is that my boys aren't close.
