My sister added me to the blacklist, doesn’t open the door when I come, and all because my parents decided to buy me an apartment.

“I am saddened that I have not spoken to my sister for six months. And all because of some small thing, says Valentina. All the time, my sister somehow communicated with aloof, not always answered phone calls. Before that, the sisters’ relationship was friendly – until the day when the parents decided to give the younger daughter an apartment.



I don’t talk to my sister, Anna has always been a role model for me. We have a small age difference, only 3 years. I always wanted to be like my sister. When I was a kid, my sister was always my best friend. And now she's not talking to me. It's hard for me to accept this, because I always shared my secrets with Anya, only she I could talk to.



Now Anya is not answering my messages, misses calls. Once I called her from someone else's number, Anya answered, but we never could talk normally. Anya lives in another city. She moved there in her student years, then got a job and settled there. My parents and I lived in a small town. Anya always called my mother, asked how we were doing.



I got married four years ago. Then my sister came to congratulate me. She's not married, but she's good at her job. Now she pays a mortgage, lives in her large apartment. I think everyone's happy. And when I told her that my parents were buying me an apartment, Anya stopped communicating with me.



Now I am expecting a second child, my husband and I live in rented housing, and it costs us very much. So the parents decided to help us. Salaries are small, and real estate is cheaper than in the capital. Without the help of our parents, we would not have had our own home.

So I decided to share the good news with my sister. I thought Anya would be happy, but she was offended by the whole family. After that conversation, Anya never called her mother, she never returned my calls. I don't understand why she was offended. She lives much better than us in the big city, alone in a new spacious apartment. She decided to move and we were always there for her parents.



We celebrate all holidays together, my husband and I always try to help my father and mother, and they are kind to us. And I’m in a position where it’s very difficult without support. I'm sure my sister understands that I won't be able to work with my two children, it's going to be hard for us to make ends meet. I don't know why she's acting like that. I miss my sister, but I can't turn down my parents when I need her so much. When I don’t talk to my sister, I feel bad.



Some children are jealous of their parents for younger sisters and brothers. Parents seem to love their younger children more. It's not for nothing. Psychologists confirm that parents do unconsciously pay more attention to the younger and less care for older children.

Anya became independent when she went to study in another city. She had to look for housing, earn a living, study in an unfamiliar city. She stood up on her own, without support. And when she saw that the younger sister easily gets housing, of course, Anya was offended. It was enough to have two children, get married, and all the attention and love of her parents would go to her. Of course, the sister is offended that parents do not pay equal attention and care for children. It's not that she needs help, she needs attention, but all the care goes to her younger sister. At one time, Anya did not receive such attention and generosity from her parents, so she is angry with them.
