[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder if talking to your sister might actually help you. Maybe she's also seen the disparities and wishes she could do something to help. If that was the case, do you think it would help you mentally to know that? [/quote]

This is the OP again-that's a thought-thank you. I wouldn't want to make her feel uncomfortable though. It's not her problem. It's funny-based on some of the responses. I feel like maybe I wasn't clear enough about this in my initial post. While it's been very hard living in my sister's shadow, I don't blame her for anything. Honestly, I blame a lot of it on myself for not being "better" somehow and yeah, I do blame some of it on our parents for creating a toxic environment and in many cases being cruel in their comparisons. Their love in many ways felt conditional and I didn't meet the conditions. My sister and I are only 1 year apart in age which added to the comparisons-I heard it from my parents but also from people outside the family as well. I think if there had been more of an age difference it would have been a little easier? Regardless, this is my issue to deal with. I was in a bad head space and was venting when I wrote the original post. [/quote]
