Last night, was a soggy night it was raining outside. It was late and I was checking email; low and behold, my sister sent me an email updating her new address and phone number. She had made it safely with her move. I felt honored to receive an email. I hardly hear from her and over the years it had been sporadic.
Being raised as we had left us with some issues that each of us struggle with. Last night, I had nothing to lose. I addressed many issues with my sister, which at first she got defensive as she usually does, but I was not going to allow that to derail me. It got heated, and but I will say it was brutally honest.
My sister and I, laid it on the line and we spoke, cried, laughed and finally came to an understanding.
At least, we are talking honestly and openly. Something we were not able to do before, I feel a door was opened; even if it was a crack. She asked we take it one step at a time and that she wants to deal with some issues herself with out, any influences. Which, I can understand. I told her about this board, and once her computer is up and running (she borrowed someone's to mass email) she may smooze by to take a peak and if she feels she wants to~ she may (or may not) decide to join. I am leaving the decision up to her..I figure she will read alot of the posts. ( Reminds her ** OPEN MIND. .. don't want to shock ya sis if you ever read this and other posts). ( Ya-ya I know bossy). I just want us, to be happy in our lives and face the future free of any tethers we have had as a result of the conditioning.

Of the taking it one step at a time class.
