I have two siblings, a younger brother aged 17 and an older half-brother on my mother's side aged about 30. I'm 22.
My younger brother and I were constantly arguing and occasionally fighting right up until I left home at 18. We get along much better now and although we don't get to talk a lot there is a feeling of closeness and friendship that we didn't have when we were both living at home. When we talk it's usually about our common interests music and computer games, or about life in general.
I didn't know my half-brother existed until I was about 11 or 12 and met him soon after. He's a good guy and both my younger brother and I got along with him really well. He came and lived with us for a while before leaving to move in his his gf. I haven't seen him much since and not at all in the last couple of years. He's still in contact with our mother so I know where he works, but I keep forgetting to go catch up with him when I'm in town. Other than my forgetfulness, I don't really know why neither of us has made any effort to see each other.
