I think I see the picnic!

Zig,
I know you're right. My family cares for me and doesn't want to see me hurt. What I have understood about myself here is that I always felt that because I am the younger sister, my older bro and sister feel they have a right to give their opinion and take a stand.

Had it been the other way around, I highly doubt my younger bro and I would've done the same. As a matter of fact, when my BIL surprised my sister with a 5yo son from a previous GF after dating her for 2yrs, we were confused but never angry.

I trusted that my sister knew how to handle her sitch. And she did! Now that I am an adult handling my sitch, I'm not treated the same.

Small ex. My sister will confuse my name for her daughter's name. She says, I see you guys the same. I HAVE ALWAYS HATED THIS! My niece is 10yo!! I'm almost 40!!! She introduces me as her lil sister. We are only 5yrs apart! My bro does the same but we're 7yrs apart.

So I can't just brush off the anger as easily with this. There's a deep root of emotions held in this.
