| How to deal with my little sister growing up? |
Anonymous |

Hello everyone,this will be my first question here. This requires a
bit of background info so bear with me.. As a child from when I was born to around the age of 13-14 years old I lived with parents who were both heavy drug addicts and alcoholics. Apparently pain meds for a job accident related injury my father got into started the whole thing! I'm not here to tell my life story, but to make a long story short I went through quite a bit of hardship as a child,during that time my brother and sister were born into the world. My brother being 6 years younger then me and my sister 7 Throughout all of my hardships during that time I took on the responsibility of caring for the both of them to the best of my ability. Running to convenient stores blocks away in the winters, and buying bags of junk food was better then my totally out of it parents could hope to accomplish. Anyway, when I was about 14 my grandparents stepped in and a period of legal custody battles ensued with us eventually winding up with them permanently. Which I consider myself so blessed for, they have practically spoiled us to death up until this very day lol. Now let's fast foward in time to the present, I'm 20 years old, Practically a fully grown adult, my brother being 14 and my sister being 13 years old. Overall I feel like we have turned out well, I obviously remember a lot more from are childhood then my siblings, thankfully. I am extremely close to both my brother and sister, I have always doted on them to the extremes. I admit that i am overprotective. :( Now the problem is that although it hasn't really been to much of an issue with my brother, my sister is a different story lol. Although I am usually a pretty mature guy, I find myself to upset at the fact that she is growing up into more then a little child. Aka (boys, acting out in a normal 13 year old way, getting a tiny bit of independence,nasty to me every time I say something to her) I only want her happy,, but I need help lol |
