I don't mind it being about you @Former-Member

That was a satirical message I sent you when you first went down to care for your parents - I thought it was like a soap opera and had no idea until I read more how much you really needed - and it was a good thing to know all this in the long run

I am too good for my sister but I still love her for all the nastiness in her heart - and I think that's a good thing. I doubt she will ever want my help - that would ruin her perfect record for not having my help but then - I remember

I taught her to read - she doesn't remember that - and I taught her maths - I was so thrilled to have a baby sister and yet she seemed to resent me from an early age. I get it - she wanted our mother 100% and every so often Mum was happy to let me babysit and I was happy to babysit - and I can hold the good nature I still have

And yes - a good dose of round up could help but that would leave me feeling less than I am - so it's better to have my bad moments - and puzzle about it all from time to time

But unless it's too hot tomorrow I will be seeing my psychologist - late afternoon - it's not worth heat-stress though

I guess one thing about family is that blood is thicker than water - but really hard to work out how my parents gave their share of identical DNA to three kids and we are all so different - and I think I skimmed the gene-pool.

I am a good-natured soul - I have no idea who I inherited that from - possibly an ancestor I never knew
