[quote=Anonymous]OP, I am the successful younger sister. I spent most of my life learning through their experiences how to behave/act and not making the same mistakes. I worked hard and given myself that opportunity. As an adult, I feel the resentment towards me but I long for a closer relationship with my siblings. My siblings now want the same thing that I have and it's driving them harder. One is saving more money, planning for retirement etc., the other is going back to school. OP, if you feel this way,  you should drive yourself too. Maybe you are at a point in your life that you feel stagnant, not going anywhere; find something that you can get into. Join a running group, go back to get a degree, do something for yourself that would take months to achieve but stick by it cause at the end it would help your with self-esteem. I built my self-esteem by achieving things that took time and patience to build and when I finally achieved it, it was such a self esteem booster that I wanted to achieve more with many more aspects of my life. OP, good luck, it sounds like it's time to stop envying and start doing something more for yourself.[/quote]
