[quote=Anonymous]My sister and I both immigrated to the United States after our parents made a lot of sacrifices for us to stay here and to go to school here. The dream was that we would be educated, work hard, get well paid jobs and create a home base for our family abroad. We were supposed to save up and work together to buy property and create a bridge for our parents and sisters to at least come visit and stay with us for a while. We were also supposed to help pay for the education of the younger siblings etc.

Over the past two years, however, my sister has changed dramatically. She doesn't want to live with me anymore and she is not interested in the future we all planned together. Our father wanted her to study Finance and she hasn't graduated yet. She has no internship or professional work experience and spent all her time babysitting and dog sitting. She loves animals and children. During the past year, she has started seeing this really wealthy guy and he seems to spoil her to the kinds of things we had never experienced growing up. White table cloth restaurants for date night,expensive foreign chocolates, designer clothes, bags and jewelry. He has decked her in expensive things to show his affections. This is all good and well but it has changed her. Her ambition and career goals are gone. Her sense of duty to her family and the goals we have worked for are gone. All she wants now, she says, is a cute family, a house by the lake, cute clothes and jewelry and cute dogs. She wants a "normal" life and is not interested in working hard or trying to establish herself in this country. I am happy that she has found love and can tell they are serious and he will propose soon. A part of me also resents her for abandoning me in our mission and our joint goals. I am angry that our parents put so much effort and time and made so many sacrifices for her and all she wants to do is marry a rich guy and have his babies. I wouldn't even care if she had a BF/Husband, so as long as she hadn't changed so much.

Now I feel all alone in helping carry out our goals and mission. What would you do?[/quote]
