[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 687300, member: 18958"] While I know, TL, that all of us resign ourselves for a future not as we hoped, I believe there is hope. My sister and I could never really have much of a relationship. We would go through the motions occasionally at holidays but that was all. I believe that is because my mother never did model the belief and commitment to a unified and loving family. She was a divide and conquer kind of gal. And then she would want us to love each other. When there was mistrust, suspicion and competition. While we as parents cannot make our kids like and enjoy each other we can commit ourselves to modeling unity and discouraging division. I do not know how that would look in your situation, but I believe that the more we hope and commit ourselves to positive change, the more possible it becomes. [/QUOTE]
