Dear IkO9:

“my sister in her overprotective nature often told everyone to not play with me in case anybody pushed me”- you shared that she physically hit you. Is it that she wanted to be the only one allowed to push/ hit you?

“she will keep me in her team and then get me out so that I can sit on the sides”- fits with her behavior at home, trying to keep you on the sides ever since you were brought back home and interrupted her only-child/ center-child experience, doesn’t it?

“I love solving things, anything untangled which people want to cut with scissors, I can open with my fingers.. I don’t leave an issue till it is solved”-

– how about untangling the role your sister had in your life so far: has she been (1) overprotective, caring for your physical and emotional health, (2) physically and emotionally abusive to you, or (3) both, at times 1, at other times 2. If so, overall: how did she affect who you are today?
