[quote=Anonymous]I'm an only. I went through some stuff a few years ago when I had to step back from my parents a little. They kept big secrets from me (not maliciously, more like swept under the rug so we don't have to deal with it secrets) and while I could understand their reasoning, it still hurt, the fact they could not share or trust me. They are good people who love me and my family so I didn't want to create a rift. What I did was just not share as much and mentally step back myself for a while. Covid happened not long after this which also gave me some space in person. I am now slowly stepping back into the relationship, which is still positive. I do think PP has a valid point in that you are not an only child...you are part of a family that experienced loss and are the remaining sibling. Looking at it through that lens may help you find healthier paths for all of you. I am so sorry for your loss and wish you well.[/quote]
