[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It seems to be an odd phenomenon among some sisters. Chances are the dynamic was set up early in your youth out of some sibling rivalry that you probably don't even remember, then it became an ingrained, habitual behavior. We all tend to be most easily triggered by those closest to us, particularly mothers and sisters, or fathers and sons. It is often easiest to be kind to strangers or new friends and acquaintances, where there is no history, no expectation, no hidden agenda, no underlying dynamic to complicate things.[/quote] This is exactly how it is with my mother and her sister. I am sorry for your loss, OP - and for all the hurt, complicated, sad feelings this is raising for you. I'm sure you did your best, and it is very good of you to extend your kindness to your sister's family even with your mixed feelings. I hope you will do something good for yourself. You deserve self care while you are grieving and sorting out your feelings.[/quote]
