There's nothing for her to envy. It was just shocking how she turned out that way.
I'm estranged from my parents, and it brings me some peace of mind. The hardest part, however, was when both sisters I was close to simply ghosted me. It's been years, and I'm still not coming to terms with that.
You say there's nothing to envy, but that doesn't mean they don't see it that way.
I left at the age of 15, and only tried it once again. Years later, my eldest sibling invited me to a family reunion. I refused and I told them why. Staying out of the way of poisoning people is better for my health and my children.
You cannot force people to like you, not even if they are family, and I learned that they will never give an honest answer and that bloodline means nothing (except if it comes to manipulating).
You are brave. 15 is so young!
You are right about the manipulating part. It's always people closest to us that can do that and only them are near enough to be able to stab us.
