my mother and her sister were twins, lived in different states, didn't stay in touch too often. no reason, they just didn't.
how does being a separated twin screw with you?

It can screw with you, but it doesn't always because I know of twins who aren't that close as well. But the environment and which we grew up and our extreme insecurities while growing up, combined with both of us being heavily introverted (until we got to college), also combined with living together for 22 years = a special bond.
Imagine the one single person that could be your best friend, the person you would care to talk to, then person you could always depend on...it would be yourself!!!!! So when your twin brother is just like you, thinks like you, has the same since of humor as you, enjoys the same hobbies and activities, and simply experiences life in the same way as you, it simply creates a relationship that you absolutely love. No, a relationship that you need. The amount of sheer enjoyment you can have with your twin is astounding -- more fun than I can have with anybody else by a long shot.
I know it's more of the result of our upbringing and the environment we grew up in combined with some serious self-conscious attitudes than anything, but holy hell we are fused together forever. And it's awesome.
