[quote=Anonymous]Time for your parents to send over another sister to help you build out THEIR dream.

My question to you in all of this is - what is YOUR dream?

Have you really dreamed of nothing else for yourself besides carrying out this plan for your parents?

I completely understand wanting to make something of yourself - I applaud you for wanting to do that and encourage you to keep at it. But, do it for YOU...not for your parents. Become the strong, smart woman the plan requires, but do it because it will make your life better, stronger, more enjoyable.

Your sister is her own person. She's completely entitled to chart her own course. I'm sure much of this is more about missing her than her abandoning this family plan. If so, just tell her. Tell her that you miss spending time with her, that you love her, that you understand that she's entitled to her own life, choices and chance at happiness. If you make the conversation about the plan, you're wasting your breath. Build a relationship with your sister than can breathe within the lives that you are both creating for yourselves.

Plus, I suspect that your feelings might change or be different if you meet someone tomorrow that you have fallen in love with...

Be happy for her. Build happiness for yourself.[/quote]
