Dear rekalitsoe:

Your step sister, is she your father’s daughter from a previous relationship, how is she related to you, did you grow up with her? A bit of a history of her place in your bio family may help.

You wrote: “I know a lot of (her behavior) stemmed from jealousy/insecurity.” and that you understand her. What is her jealousy about?

Do you feel empathy for her, maybe guilt because… maybe you were treated better than she was treated, as a child?
