Hi!

I think most people begin to close themselves out to different possibilities as they get older, but that’s practical as much as anything. At some point we need to decide on a path and particular goals, and devote ourselves to achieving those. I suppose there are advantages to not being “too” realistic, to not closing ourselves off to new possibilities. But don’t you think we also have to be careful not to let the wide range of possibilities overwhelm us, andlimit what we’re able to achieve?

My stepsister might have used that as a justification, but to be fair she wasn’t wrong. I definitely was difficult during those years, and although I don’t think I got away with as much as she thinks I did I know that my stepdad thought he and my mom should have been stricter with me than they were. That certainly factored into the resentment my stepsister felt towards me, which then played into how she handled the responsibility she was given. It wouldn’t be surprising that any of them, including my aunt, might have felt that the spankings I got were discipline that should have happened years before. I’m sure your mom may have felt the same way.

Canada is definitely like that for me. Technically foreign, but very comfortable.

Take care!

Caity

I have found that siblings feel that the other siblings get away with more than they should have. Normally the older siblings feel that the younger siblings get away with things they never could have. I don't have a lot of experience with step siblings but I could see how the feelings could be worse.
