[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 761455, member: 18958"] I can imagine what it must have felt like for your sister having been in a foster home, longing for her mother. And then to have to share her mother with somebody she experienced as not even in the family. Of course she would be fearful that this circumstance was always at risk of happening again. These kinds of traumas are likely "hard wired" which is to say that this pattern of fearing loss of an attachment figure is the default thought pattern that she experiences when she feels strong feelings of yearning and wanting. Although it may look like jealousy it's not quite the same thing, I think. The need for stable and loving parenting is basic to development--it is a universal need. Your sister is triggered because she is always seeking what she needed, and lost. This is an attachment wound that she is trying to work out. It is not jealousy. [/QUOTE]
