What happened to your little sister? If you want to say. It's OK if not.
That had to be terrible for you. I don't get people sometimes. You want to love them as they are but they make it damn hard, like your mom. Here you were a perfect little girl they already had and they needed a replacement for your little sister? More attention should have been given to you because I'm sure you were very affected by her death, too.
Yes, my daughter was rejected, but I was always there to love her. I could not figure out why my mom and sister wanted to be so destructive to me when my daughter acted out. I have told her she needs to tell them at rehab she wants counseling therapy to work out some of her past. I hope it happens.
My parents had money and they were generous with their grandchildren. My mom spent her last 5 years in assisted living and rarely did a grandchild go see her except my one daughter. The one that gets mad at me all the time. Because of that I learned I'm not squandering money on my grandkids because if they don't ask for it, they wont be very thankful. Like my mom's grandkids did with her.
Money can make a terrible division in a family.
