Dear Charlotte:

You are welcome. I am guessing that because of your sister’s bad relationship with your parents, and particularly because of the possibility that she will be estranged from them, you may be feeling some extra stress or pressure to spend more time with them, be present for them, so that they have at least one supportive and involved daughter (?)

You are welcome to post again on what I brought up above, on the second child issue, and/ or on any issue when it is convenient for you to do so.
