[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow I could be the “lucky” sister in this dynamic (down to the detail of expecting the second child) but minus the childhood trauma. What I wish my sister understood (and I hope you can OP - you seem at least willing to confront your jealousy) is that life is not a competition. Unchain yourself from the victim mentality - your life didn’t just “happen to you” - it’s the result of choices you made. Own them, and take control of your future instead of being jealous of others. There will always be someone with a “better” life/marriage/looks/money/kids. [/quote]

Wow, so she "chose" the difficult pregnancy and alcoholic husband? People like you who punch down are really something.[/quote]

Op here. This here is what really hurts me. I chose what I thought was a well educated UMC professional who declared that he loved me and proposed to me. At the time he seemed like a catch and was madly in love with me. His addiction issues became more obvious over the years.

I also do not drink or smoke or party. There was no reason for me to have reproductive health issues that almost killed me.

These were pure bad luck.

My sister also married an UMC professional who turned out to actually be a great guy and husband and she is very fertile!

This is pure good luck! [/quote]
