[quote=Anonymous]My mom has a bio brother 12 years her senior, then an adopted sister 5 years her senior (clearly her -- very Catholic/would never have used birth control parents -- thought they would never have another after many years of infertility), and then my mom. Her parents were so anxious about making sure they didn't slight my mom's sister that they may have gone overboard with the "you're special because we chose you" story, because -- when she was little -- my mom came away with the distinct impression that they chose her sister and got stuck with her. It all worked out totally fine in the end though, in part because my grandparents made such an effort. My mom's sister was actually the one that nursed my grandmother in her last years/lived nearby and her great-grandchild through my aunt (aunt's son's daughter) was definitely the highlight of her 90's, which were otherwise rather difficult (health-wise).[/quote]
