I am lucky I have only one sister and her and I are close, I cannot imagine anything coming between us and i hope it never does, but my hubby dis-owned his whole large family (for very good reasons, believe me) and has had nothing to do with them for over three years now and I know he never will again, it is sad, but sometimes it just happens.,my hubby is the good guy in all of this,so IMO they are the ones missing out , my hubby feels very much a part of my family and they treat him like his own family should have in the first place.
