My sister called me this morning about the letter I wrote.
She said a lot of things that were really hard to hear about myself, and her own life. I didn't say anything until she was done, at which point all I could come up with was "I'm sorry".
She kept pointing out all the ways in which I've screwed up over the years. I asked her why, if she thinks I'm such an idiot, would she ever be jealous or feel overshadowed by me?
Her response? "Because you're a pretty idiot. You're constantly like a damsel in distress.People want to help you and be around you like they've never done for me."
I asked her if it had ever occurred to her that people don't help her because she doesn't let them. We both got quiet for a few minutes. Then she said, "Well anyway, there are worse people I could've had as a sister. You're not so bad. There's a wedding invitation for you at mom's house."
I'm pretty happy with how that went- what she said was practically "I love you", coming from her.
