[quote=Anonymous]OP I get it. You have every right to feel everything you're feeling, whether this dream was imposed by your parents or not.

The thing is, you don't get to decide your sister's path in life. It sounds like she didn't really know what she wanted and this "dream" seemed about as good a plan as any. Now she's having experiences she never anticipated and she wants to explore them. You don't have to like it, but if you really want to have any peace of mind, you need to put to bed your expectations of how your sister should live. It's only going to deepen the divide between you and make you miserable in the process.

So to your question, focus on living your own life, renegotiate your plan with your parents if you feel the burden on you is too much, and leave the door open for your sister to reincorporate you into her life if you truly value your relationship. You can waste a lot of time berating her, calling her selfish, admonishing her lack of ambition and all the other unhelpful behaviors you seem to have already sunk you teeth into. All it's gotten you is booted out of her life. Time for another approach.[/quote]
