She's my only sibling and I think we've always shared this concept of "you're all I've got." We nip any and all fights in the bud because we realize nothing is worth it. Sure we had major spats as kids, but my sister and I have always been best friends. I can't imagine my life without her.
Does anyone else consider their sister their best friend? Have you always been best friends or did your close relationship develop as adults?
No, my sister and I are not best friends. She is very dysfunctional. She likes to suck people into her drama so for me to have a healthy relationship with her, I have to keep her at arms length.
No but that is very nice! My family is very dysfunctional and I try to distance myself from the drama the best I can. It amazes me how siblings can all grow up in the same house and all have different values.

Both of you describe my relationship with my sister (and parents) perfectly. Funny thing is, my sister is actually the adopted one!
In all honesty, I love my sister dearly but we are not close. She is my only sibling and it would be great if we were more close. She is 10 years younger than me, so growing up, it was a little hard to be close. By the time she was starting school I was already half way through high school. Then after high school, I was in college and then married and moved several hundred miles away. I always said it was like my parents had 2 families and she and I were both an "only child". It wasn't until we were both adults, both pregnant with our first child at the same time, that we had absolutely anything in common. Even after that, our lives were on very different paths and we literally went years without even talking to each other. In the last year or so, we have become much closer mainly because she's been going through a very nasty divorce and having to deal with lots of problems with our elderly parents, who until just recently lived with her.
My sister and I are great friends but not best friends.
I feel it's very wise that she lives far away as she tends to boss me around and show me how to do things. Sometimes she doesn't understand that I am 50 years old and have learned a thing or three over the years.
But we do have fun together.
