Dear lovejonesss:

Interesting, the title of your thread is “Creating distance with a sibling”, but the distance has been there all along. So when you “backed off” from him, you weren’t creating a distance. Instead, you acknowledged that the distance was there all along.

No reason to have contact with a person who doesn’t bother to hear you, who interrupts you when you talk, asking you the same question after you answered it, a person with whom you didn’t have emotional closeness before and who brought nothing but distress into your life.
