I feel like my family plans all of these fun things to do with my sister, but none with me.
I’m having a serious problem with my older sister, “Ella,” who is my only family. Our parents died when we were young, and Ella and I ended up moving through a lot of homes over a very unstable childhood. She looked after me like a mother, even though there are just two years between us. For a long time I would have said she was my best friend, but that changed radically when she was 19 and met the man who became her husband.
Anne seemed really happy about this but reiterated that I just needed to tell her before a deposit deadline if I changed my mind. She understands this kind of difficulty, as she is now estranged from her own family.My problem is that despite what I said to Anne, I am torn. There is a part of me that does want to pull out of the wedding to appease my sister and preserve our fragile relationship. While I feel I have already mostly lost her, I can’t bear to think of losing her altogether, for good.
