I am the oldest of three children. My sister Dani is a year younger than me and attends AA with me, but sadly we hardly get along anymore, let alone talk more than 5 words to each other. We used to be really close, but the death of our father has really hit her hard and she still has not forgiven me for not loving him nearly enough. But as the oldest I am there for her whether she wants to admit it or not. We also have a younger brother named Joseph. He died with my dad and he and I were as close as anyone could be. When he died, everything went down hill for me, but when he was living all of us were incredibly close. I was the one who took the blame for what they did cause I am older and need to set an example. We fought as most siblings do, but we had a lot of love for each other. Now it's just me and Dani and while we dont speak, I am still there for her anytime she needs me, and I have been since the really bad times in our family.
Since I been at AA I have friends who are becomming like family. Hayden, Hilary, Evanna,Joe, and Taylor, just to name a few. And I would be lost without them.
