What are you going against the family grain on?
Well in 1989 I was born...
Semi kidding. Long story as short as possible because (IMO) it is so dumb. I have one older sister that is 3.5 years older than me. She is unmarried (never dated), lives alone, works a low paying essentially administrative job and has recently picked up a second job on the weekends filling grocery orders at Wal-Mart. She is highly dependent on my parents, has dinner with them several times a week and my dad might as well be her landlord as he does all of the upkeep and maintenance at her house.
I say all that to give you background on the dynamics at play and to also add that she has ALWAYS had some kind of mental health issues that unfortunately due to timing in the world went undiagnosed/treated for at lest the first 20-25 years of her life.
So the current issue is the longstanding issue that she is incredibly afraid of my parents dying because she will have no one else to care for her etc. because I don't. Well IMO that doesn't give me enough credit because as I reiterated last night I have a family that is my ultimate priority beyond anything else. Somehow that set them all off saying "we aren't your family?" AS;LDFJEA;SODJGFALI;SJDFP;
A contributing factor is that yesterday was her birthday, I wished her a happy birthday but apparently because we didn't get her anything that means we don't love her (which to be honest is so ******* hard to do to begin with. SHE IS 38! I want to ask them if they still get their siblings gifts. We don't get MrsWx's three siblings birthday presents nor her parents.
Anyway thanks for yet again being Wx's therapy.
