A famous pair of sisters most of us know about is Anna and Elsa from Disney's Frozen. The overall moral of this storyline is, no matter what, sisters have to stick together.
My sister has always had my back. But at times I was brainwashed and did not do the same. My sister is two years older then me. She had left my dad's house her freshmen year of high school, as I survived until my senior year of high school. Our stepmom never really liked my sister, and made my dad make a decision to choose between my sister or herself. My dad chose our stepmom and my sister had to leave. After she left the house we rarely saw eachother for the next five years... until now.
I have decided to interview my sister on the topic, to show that I am not alone in this.
How did it feel for your dad to choose your stepmom over you?
It felt terrible. I would have never of thought my dad would have chosen a woman that was not even my mom over me.
Can you recall a certain memory/moment with your stepmom that really affected you?
One moment that really affected me with my stepmom was when she threatened to leave my dad if my dad wouldn't kick me out of my house.
Why do you think she acts the way she does toward you?
I believe she acts the way she does towards me because she secretly knows she is crazy and doesn't want my dad to be around anyone but her because they will warn him about her issues.
Would you like to share any other thoughts about your experience?
One thought I would like to share about this experience is that you should never get married until you actually know someone. And you know someone is a problem when you are not even aloud to talk to your own children and parents.So sisters, stick together, have eachother's backs, and love eachother. I regret never standing up for my sister five years ago, do not make the mistake that I made.
I wonder if this applies to brothers as well? Even my younger brother helps me in difficult situations like this. Anyway, I like how you actually interview your sister. It brings interesting opinions to this post.
ReplyDeleteI love how you incorporated an interview into this post. It is really interesting for your audience to have another opinion on the subject that corresponds to your own.
ReplyDeleteI like how you compared you and your sister to Elsa and Anna. Interviewing your sister was a great idea for a post!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed reading the opinions of your sister about your stepmother. Her answers reinforce the key points that you have introduced of your stepmother being controlling and causing problems with your family.
