Sibling relationships can be so fraught @tyme , we don't use the same filters as with other people and in close confines without physical or personal space things can really rankle. You have my sympathy.

I guess  I might be over-sensitive but it can really hurt when I try to respond to someone who tagged me and they completely ignore me. And that's a direct reply, I've given up introducing new topics or extending a conversation as it meets a stonewall.  It triggers my rejection and abandonment buttons and I feel worthless and invisible. And no I'm not complaining about you in particular. It's happened here and on other threads.

It's actually very difficult for me to open up a new thread about personal stuff. Perhaps some threads should be quietly closed  if/when the discussion has run its course.
