Dear Annie:

If you want to explore this further, we can:

1. What bad things did his friends say to him about you and the relationship with you and how did you find out what they said (did he tell you, did you ask him and kept asking him what they said)?

2. You wrote that everyone in your family gave your younger sibling more attention and care- can you tell me more about it: who  is “everyone”, what attention and care did they give her but not you, is it still the case, to this very day?

(I will be back in a couple of hours).
