My Sister Thinks I’m Selfish
I live in CO, but the rest of my family lives in AL. I have lived in Colorado for about 8-9 years now and I’ve been here since I was 18. I moved away because I wanted a life of my own and not have my sister control how I live it, I have 7 older sisters. Yes like all, my parents are aging, but unlike most my mom and dad are 25 years apart so it is expected that my father will pass first. My father is now 73, and also has Leukemia,
Is it fair that even after multiple conversations with my sister, that she continues to try and guilt trip me because she’s the one who lives at home with mom and dad, and has to do “all the heavy lifting”. Is it fair that I get upset with her when I don’t feel supported on decisions that I have made on my life. Keep in mind, that I have a husband and I enjoy my life, and I’ve become fairly successful for my age and stage in life. And every time we see or speak to each other, she only ever talks about the depressing stuff that we all have to deal with eventually. It’s not a happy time/ feeling
Now, also know, she uses the fact that I’m ready for a Baby, but my husband is not, to her benefit. I’m not saying my husband said no, or that he won’t have kids with me, but a compromise has been made on this subject that both Him and I agree too. And she tries to say he is just leading me on. Or put these thought in my head that I’ve already thought about, but try to stay positive on. Like “well can y’all have kids? And to me this all seems unfair, because instead of trying to see my perspective. She’s only seeing her 7 year old baby sister.
Now normally I can just brush this kinda stuff off and move on, but this time it’s been a little more difficult because she has the other sister now backing her up. I love all my family and I barely ever fight with any of them. I get that they don’t really know my Husband, but if I’m clearly happy, and living my best life, why can’t you get past your feelings of missing me, and realize I’m happy 80% of the time.
Tell me am I in the wrong for feeling upset?
