A brief personal history: my parents have been divorced since I was two. I lived with my dad for most of my life, with frequent extended visits to my mother's place over the summer and holidays.

So I have two younger siblings, but they've always lived too far away to really have much of a connection with them. I'm 7 years older than my brother and nearly 13 years older than my sister.
