An introduction and a thank you

Hello, I am 40 years old, and had a consanguineous relationship with my younger sister until about 12 years ago.  The possibility of legal, social, and religious consequences were just too high a price for her to pay.
We lost something special, and I would like to talk with others who may be in the same position.

Thank you for making a place where people like us don't have to feel so alone.

Welcome from another newbie, Howie!

Welcome! I've upgraded your account. We're a supportive place. You're among friends.

hiya Howie, it's good having you here. I'm sorry your relationship ended how it did. Hopefully you'll find some solace here.
thank you for joining & take care!

I'm sorry to hear about what happened with your sister. I'm in a similar situation with my dad (minus religion being an issue) so I understand how difficult it can be. In any case you've come to the right place, welcome aboard
