• Friction between sisters.
  

  Oh yes, I’ve taken my share of things to do; as well, one of my 2 brothers has pitched in and helped. Our 1 brother with problems who hasn’t involved himself at all, she cuts him endless slack. Me, I get attitude, probably because I’m very sensitive and don’t fight back. She has just retired and I’m just starting a career, having made it through a very difficult course during all this upheaval. I’ve spent many hours cleaning out my dad’s place, taking all his clothes & shoes for donation, etc., etc. I was asked to choose his burial suit, and I prepared the eulogy. There were times that I broke down before I could even get to his house, times where I had to leave class (yes I am getting counselling). I’m very taken aback at her lack of understanding. I’m doing the best I can to get through all this. I even went with my dad for his CT scan, and all the radiation treatments, missing class & staying with friends so I could be there for him. As hard as it was, I have no regrets as I know it was so important for him. My sister ‘barked’ at me to move some things I was taking, so that the floors in the house could get redone to show the house for sale. Bear in mind, she has a helpful husband who does practically everything. I have to travel one hour to get there, I also have 2 kids at home, 1 of which is special needs. I’m just saying that I’m doing my best as I can manage, have been reliable and cooperative. I just don’t understand where her attitude is coming from. Thanks for your input - it’s great appreciated.
