Ya, I agree with Michael - honesty is the best policy. And I'm glad that you wrote about how you feeling, and I totally agree with you. When it comes to family, we sometimes get too familiar with each other, and tend to take each other's feeling forgranted. Just because your born into the same family, doesn't mean you get instant friendship, you have to work and earn it. I try to make sure that I never overstep my bounds, and I'm quick to tell mom and tennille if they have. If chad does - which is often, I reluctantly tell him.

Anybody trying the whole "you can't like/must like" game on me found themselves ditched rapidly. This even included family at one point. (Not immediate family mind.)<br /><br />I think you may wish to sit down and have a frank discussion with your sister (birth) about what she's doing and what the consequences can and likely will be should she not change her course. Don't paint it as a threat. Paint it as historical inevitability.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16377787154756384150noreply@blogger.com
