A member of our show, Lydia, who is somebody who answers the phones here on the show. You know her from us talking about her and referring to her. She just recently unfollowed her sister.

Yeah, I sure did.

Which is wild because I remember, and I've known you for a little bit of time, not a ton of time, But I remember when you actually started talking to me about your brother and sister. I thought you were an only child.

Yeah, a lot of people do because my sister and my brother are from my dad's previous marriage. So he was married before he was with my mom, of course. And then they got divorced and then he married my mom and they had me.

So it's your stepsister.

So she's my half. Half sister. Yeah.

I didn't know that you had a sister either.

Yeah. So I had to unfollow her recently because growing up, this is really hard. um she wasn't really a part of my life like she just didn't want to be there and I think it was mostly because it hurt her a little bit to see her um parents split up so my dad and her mom divorce and then it hurt her to see my dad get remarried and marry my mom and and they had me and growing up my brother was very present like he wanted to be in my life he wanted to be involved

and her brother or your brother is also her full her brother brother yeah okay sorry no no because it's interesting I'm sorry because I know you're emotional about this this is tough for you yeah

it is so growing up I really tried to have a relationship with her and she grew up most of the time in Chicago and my brother and I grew up in Michigan so she lived with her mom and her stepdad majority of the time and uh well I tried connecting with her on social media I even drove to Chicago once and she stood me up on a dinner date basically like we're supposed to have dinner together and she said she wasn't gonna make it once I drove there I was only 16 years old oh my god um but still like throughout the years I've tried to have a really

with her and recently I noticed she was viewing a lot of my Instagram stories but she would never interact with me and what hurt the most is that she knows I've been trying for a relationship but she was always willing to have some with my cousins or she would invite all my cousins to come to Chicago and stay with her and they would post pictures which they're allowed to do that they're close with her and that's okay but what I struggled with the most is seeing that it's like

I wanted that like you're my sister you know and also it had to be hard for you to know she's checking in she's curious about what I'm doing because I can see her seeing you know watching

all my social media but there's no like next step to that yeah so I finally made the jump to unfollowing her because I felt like it was so toxic to see what she posts and who she interacts with and she's started it's so hard it's it's and i feel like it's something that's underrated kind of it's like you need a sister like if you have that sibling like i i want her around i love her by default even though i feel like i don't know her do you ever talk to your dad about that at

all i do yeah and it bothers him as well it's tough blended families i know are tough so i don't know her story of you know she's got obviously you know still heartbreak over what happened with her mom and your dad um but she shouldn't take it out on you does she does she have a relationship with your dad her dad no she doesn't okay so that's probably it's probably more in line with that why she doesn't want to you know like you said why take it out on lydia right

it's not like she had anything to do with especially it would be one thing if you guys just didn't have any contact throughout the years and then it's awkward and whatever but you actually actively trying to have a relationship seems weird that she would push you away yeah and we have a

big age difference so she's 38 and i'm 25 it's crazy to me that through my teenage years i tried reaching out to her and i'm looking at that now as someone who was her age when i was trying to reach out and i was like i would never shut out my little sister like i would never want to do that Andrew was an adult. Yeah.

So the, you know, that's the one thing with the stories on Instagram. When you see people looking at your stories, but you know these people either don't like you or these people kind of have animosity towards you, that just seeing them see it drives you crazy. It's like somebody driving by your house. You know what I mean? Like driving by your house and you're like, why are they driving by my house and not even talking to me? That's what ends up happening. And so unfollowing her and, you know, and blocking her is probably the best thing you can do for your mental health. Yes. Because you probably don't need to see it. Like there's people on social media that honestly I don't have a relationship with. I'm like, why am I following them? And I see their stuff all the time and it just all it does is just make me sad, you know. I appreciate you sharing that. And the reason I most appreciate you sharing that is because guess what? There's probably somebody listening right now that's either you or your sister. Yeah. And if at all you talking about this could bring them together, or possibly if your sister ever hears this and hears you verbalize how much you want to be able to have a relationship with her, maybe she will come around.

And I'm very open to that. I'm sorry.

I know. God, I hate when women cry. You know what happens when they cry? I always feel like I'm the one that made them cry. I do. I have like that. It's your show. Oh, my God. I know. I'm just like, jeez, why did we do this topic right now? Okay, just kidding.

Clear eyes, you guys. I'm good.

I'm good.

Shannon, give her a hug, for God's sake.

I just rubbed my hand.

Shannon, you have like 8,000 sisters. Can you give her one of your sisters, for Christ's sake?

Yeah, I know.

You might not want one or two of them.

You know, I'm just kidding.

Jamal? Yeah. Jamal, what family member did you, first off, say something to Lydia to make her feel good. Jamal, do you have a joke or anything?

i'm not a good jokester all i can say is lydia hold your head up you got a lot of people around you that that loves you i'm pretty sure uh i don't know you very well but i i can definitely tell that you know you got a lot of people around you that uh that loves you that treats you you know like a sibling so so true uh i would definitely say look more forward to that um but my comment is uh i'm pretty much in the same exact uh situation the only thing i have not done is unfollow um because i i kind of monitor the situation but i have an older brother uh on my dad's side and um our relationship has been it was like real steady but as we grew up and got

gotten older, started our own families, it drifted apart much more, and some of my family members kind of say that it's because of the relationship between me and my dad that my brother kind of just, you know, went away on his own, but my brother kind of kept in contact with me. He would call me or text me on my birthday or anything like that, but lately it has gotten to the point to where uh even my dad has kind of uh drifted away from him um recently uh well last year uh i got married in june and i wanted my brother to be a part of my wedding i wanted all of my brothers to be a part of my wedding and he was a very big part of that um in me growing up and becoming a man and i wanted him to be there for that milestone and was he there he was not But he, leading up to it, he didn't, I didn't hear from him. I constantly contacted him, asked him about, you know, things that were coming up. It was getting real close. And my wife tried to keep me calm about it. And I was, I was just, I was really fed up about it because, again, he was a really big part. He didn't show up. He had an excuse later on, basically telling me, and I don't like the excuses. I want you to be able to do what you're saying. And in the end, he basically just came to me and told me, like, I should have been there. I just told him, well, you know, that already happened. I just need you to be there more often.

When you told him, did it help it at all?

A little bit.

Okay, because that's what I'm wondering with Lydia here. I'm wondering if Lydia tells or if her sister hears about this, maybe it would make her go, you know what? I don't – your sister doesn't – nobody wants to be outwardly hurting people, right?

Right. I would hope not.

And hopefully she's, you know, able to listen to this and you're an awesome person.

Yeah.

I mean, I – Beyond. Yeah.

And I think sometimes, too, like, God, I really hope she listens to this because I think sometimes for people, they look back, if they really stop and are very honest with themselves and examine the situation, they go, I don't even really understand why I feel this way about Lydia in particular in the first place. You know what I mean? It's just, like, animosity and resentment that's built up over time. But, like, what even started it? Is it still worth feeling this way? But again, like Megan said, you didn't cause this.

Yeah. And what's confusing for our family members and our cousins is it's so unspoken. So we're at weddings or, you know, we're at family parties. And my sister doesn't come to majority of these things. I've seen her only at one wedding and it was our brother's wedding and she didn't speak to me at all. But I think where it confuses other people is it's like, why don't they talk? You know, there's nothing that went on between the two of them. They should talk.

sanita what's up hey how are you guys good what's up you want to say something to lydia it says here

yeah no my heart literally just broke like i i completely understand where she's coming from i grew up i found out i had a brother and sister in third grade for my teacher just like they didn't want to be a part of my life their mom told them like i'm not their sister yada yada and like it hurts as you get older um and luckily for like me and my siblings we now have a

friendship or close with each other but i mean i get it how did you find out that you had a brother and sister by my third grade teacher holy crap she broke the news to you well no like so my

sister she's like hey how is she doing um like my teacher asked how my sister's doing and i was so confused i was like i don't even know anyone by that name and then i went home and told my mom and she's like well you have siblings they don't want to be a part of your life unfortunately so like that's how i found out but like i said as i got older like we got a relationship we're good with each other now but it's hard but honestly like you have such a great radio family lydia you have an amazing circle around you like you'll be good it is her loss if she does not want

anything with you i'm so blessed thanks janita uh heather uh what's happening well i just wanted

to tell lydia that you know i um i have siblings half siblings that um are 16 17 18 years younger than i am um and my my my sister in particular she's 16 years younger um and she was um when my stepmom was pregnant with her, I was

not a very nice human at the time you know being 16 and i was adamant that i was not going to like this baby and um i was not going to be nice and the moment she was born i just fell in love with this little baby and felt horrible for how i was and just um took care of that little baby and my my sister thought i was her mom and thought i would ask me on her 18th birthday and we are best friends to this day but I just want to tell Lydia that you know what it's not your fault and it's her loss and shame on her and it may be that jealousy just never went away and you are better than that and you know and shame on her for not for not letting go of that animosity and that anger and that hurt and you you don't deserve that you don't deserve those feelings and you know what And she's missing out on a wonderful relationship and a wonderful person because I can't imagine my life without that little sister that I didn't think I wanted because she's amazing.

Yeah. You know what? I will say this, though. I pray that this makes her come around, you know? Last call from Ashley, and then I've got to wrap this up because Lydia has to go back to the phones.

Hi. Good morning.

Yes. And but the thing is, you can call Lydia then and tell her personally what you think, because people already do call and talk to you like you give therapy, don't you? Yeah, I do. On the phone lines. And they probably a lot of listeners probably didn't even realize that you go through this, like because, you know, it's rare that you come in and share a story with us like this. Ashley, Lydia is here right now. She just told us a story. You heard her talk about her older sister that doesn't want a relationship with her.

yeah and i wanted to say that there is an elephant in the room and things that people don't talk about and that is definitely cutting off family when it's important to your well-being and living um and it's if it's mentally taking a toll on you it's okay if you need to cut off family and people will be like oh but that's your family that's your blood honestly it's me it doesn't matter if they are not a good person if they treat you the way you shouldn't be treated why should that person be involved in your life and it's just there's so many people that stick up for bad people in the world and if they are not good for your well-being it is okay to cut someone else off or block them or do what you need to do for your mental health great point to to

bring up thank you so much ashley thank you tyler reddick here from 2311 racing victory lane yeah
