Reading through all these comments I’m sorry we all went through this with our siblings but I’m glad I’m not the only one, I feel a little less broken & alienated. But what a tragic waste of such a close relative and strong relationship bond, for it all to be nothing but trauma and anger and fighting.
Yeah I don’t want to downplay how much I love her. She’s one of the coolest people I know and I’m so proud to get to be her big sister, but yeah the crux of our relationship is that nobody else can really relate to my childhood and early adulthood. Nobody else grew up with our parents and that’s huge
I dunno - none of my brothers are really my best friend level now we’re adults. we’re friends, we enjoy time together, but not my best friend, not the person I go to with fears and worries, hopes and dreams.
but absolutely best “grabs a shovel and a car when I say I have a body to bury” emergency backup. the brother who doesn’t respond for 2 weeks to a social invite (“hey, sorry I missed your message about last week”) is always there when I say I have an emergency.
Folks without siblings think it’s like a built in best friend, which it is, but it’s one forged in blood, insults, and lies
Exactly - All best friends are forged from blood, insults, and lies, and siblings are no exception.
It’s like if you went up to a best mate like, “Hey, Best Friend”
There is only one man who can pull that off

Aoi Todo from Jujutsu Kaisen
I made my best friend playing backyard football after he intentionally beamed me in the balls.
Idk it’s less a best friend and more a really long built trauma bond in my experience
