My sister is two years younger than me. She's a drug addict, so we no longer have any relationship to speak of, really.
When we were kids? We got along, but it was limited. When we moved, she made friends, I was a loner.. we got on each others' nerves. Through middle school and high school I was an A student (valedictorian, whoo), she was mediocre at best because she didn't care and didn't want to be compared to me (so yes, we were somewhat competitive and she resented me as a result). She got involved with crappy people and hasn't gotten away from them.. she started stealing from me when she was in high school and our relationship just deteriorated from there.
Last spring, I had a few good talks with her. Actually offered for her to live with me away from home to try to clean up. The next day? She stole two of my credit cards. I haven't really had anything to do with her since and don't intend to unless she totally cleans up, which is doubtful.
