Is it normal that my sister and i are really open with each other now?
My sister who is 17 got into a car accident and somehow broke both of her arms. I know it is sort of funny. Because of that both arms were in casts and she pretty much needed help with most things until she got them off.
I'm 17 and her older brother (we're twins) and it is just me and her and our parents. Obviously becuase of her accident, the doctor told us that someone is going to have to help her do everything from eating, getting ready for school and anything else you can imagine. As you can imagine, I was chosen to help her do EVERYTHING. I didn't mind at first because I do love my sister and we are very tight knit but some of the stuff I had to do wasn't exactly what you would want to do with/for your sister.
FOr instance, I had to help her shower and change her. I literally had to wash her in the shower and then dress her after for school and whatnot. Essentially I saw my sister naked many, many times and even had to put on her panties and bra and everything else.
It wasn't a great experience but it is over now. We did definitely become closer than I ever could have thought and because of that she is really open with me in terms of not only talking more and more about sensitive topics but also her body. Obviously, before we were like most normal siblings who didn't see each other more naked than bathing suits but now she walks naked around me all the time as long as our parents aren't home. Now I do the same because she didn't care when I had to wash her and stuff so why should I?
So is this normal? She did go through a lot and that has definitely changed our perspective on things.
