i think i'd feel the same dinah.. i'd be disappointed i my sister didn't succeed at something because of me. i think i have just been taught to diminish what i do because she wasn't as successful. Now that i look at it that way... i am kind of overwhelmed by sadness.. i don't think it ever occurred to me that my achievements were second-rate to my sister's lack of them. :(
i love my sister. It put me in an impossible situation... to fight for recognition meant i had to fight her and make the family turn and look... which came back to me as me being selfish and cruel. In my family i guess it was either/or, not *and.*
this makes me very sad. :(
