As a parent now, I understand why they behaved the way they did, but when my sister developed her disability, I was left to my own devices and pretty much grew up on my own.

@SW-User What I’m reading is that you maybe felt you weren’t considered as much due to the circumstances. Is that right?

Is there anything you think that they could have handled differently that would have made you feel maybe more included?

@ZulXeroth Definitely. I get it now though. I understand why it happened.

Many things. But it's over now.
