You write what looks like a movie pitch.

In case this is real, listen to you heart deep inside. [b]The outside of you is a selfish bitch.[/b][/quote]

As mean as this is, YOU'RE RIGHT! I realized I was being selfish, thinking totally of myself but felt that, for once in my life I might be entitled to do so, damnit! I had my DD young and sacrificed everything--promotions, those exciting transfers to other cities--for her and now's my time!

But life is what happens when you're busy making other plans.[/quote]

Sorry for insulting you, and thank you for taking it so gracefully.

However it rubs me the wrong way when you imply that somehow raising kids was such a chore, and that now "finally" you're able to enjoy your life. It also saddens me that you're apparently taking your sister's current suffering very lightly and insisting that she was a horrid person before. I know you think this should color the present situation, but it really doesn't. You don't bring this up when the poor woman is in danger of dying, OP. It's just not right on the part of a blood relative, and this is what I meant when I thought it was a movie script. You sounded very impersonal and detached.[/quote]

I totally agree.  While you work hard to be personable and sweet in your responses, you speak pretty nastily about your sister, and seem to be hoping we'll all tell you, "No, it's totally cool, leave the kids behind."  It's like there is this shell of niceness, and underneath just cold, cold, detached selfishness.  I think it's very sad. [/quote]
