TROUBLE WITH SIBLINGS

i have 6 siblings. 2 older brothers and a sister from my father's first marriage (juni, sammy, and lynette) and gabi and another older sister from my father's second marriage (becky). then i have another brother (johnathan) but that's kind of a long story so i'll just leave it at that. juni lives in michigan with his two kids and his wife so i never get to see them. maybe once a year. sammy lives in the bronx and the funny thing is that i see him as much as i see juni who is 12hrs away. he may drop by once a year or we see him at family gatherings. when i was little me, gabi, and becky would make plans with him to sleep over his house. we would sit there with our bags all packed excited about the weekend with him and he would never show. when he did show up it would be at like 1 or 2 in the morning. i would be so disappointed and i would cry every time. it always seemed like he didn't care. as i have grown up i realize that he is the way he is and i should'nt cry over someone who doesn't even care about me. he's such a hypocrite. he has been doing the same thing to my father, saying he's coming over to see him and he never shows. whenever i see him i want to tell him off about all the times he has hurt me and everyone else but i never get the nerve to say anything. whenever i see him he says "oh girls i love you so much. i miss you guys." it's all talk. he never shows it. okay... enough about this guy. lynette lives like 2 blocks from me but we don't see much either cause she works so much. because she is so much older we never really used to talk but now that i am getting older our relationship is better. and she also has 2 kids. then there's becky. me and gabi grew up with her the longest. she lives like a half an hour walk from us. she is going to college, married, and just had a baby. our relationship is also getting better since we are getting older. she is so generous and caring. i love her so much. johnathan used to live in manhattan where i used to see him maybe once a year. now he has movied to florida and i have seen him maybe once in the last 3 years. i don't know what it is but he never talks to me. i wish knew what he was thinking. finally there is gabi. this is my best friend. i love her so much but her attitude drives me crazy. i wish the relationships with my siblings were better but i'll just have to hope that some time they will.
