[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 659463, member: 17461"] That is the feel of my sister, too. Whatever the monetary value, or even, as with the Rolex watch, whether she doesn't have one but would like one, the feeling is that she is superior to me by flaunting that she knows about Rolex (or whatever) and I don't. Or that she knows what my father needs when he is out of surgery is suckers, and I don't. It's the feeling of it that is wrong and so hurtful. I don't know how to think about it either, Copa. I found this from Brene Brown. She talks about vulnerability and openness and empathy and shame, and about how we think around those issues. However our families feel, we are the powerful engines of our own lives. How we think about ourselves...that is where we break free of our FOO, I think. Here it is, Copa and SWOT. [MEDIA=youtube]sXSjc-pbXk4[/MEDIA] I think it might be that we want family. We know how we miss them, and we don't understand how it could be that they don't feel the same way. I have that dinner thing going on. That represents how I believe it should look. I have been not taking anything else seriously. I have been not believing what I have always felt rolling off my sister could be hatred. Cedar [/QUOTE]
