In this episode I start to unravel some of my confusion on the relationship I now have with my sister and the lengths she is willing to go to to get what she wants over everyone else involved.

Her need to get her way outweighed even the goal of getting Dad home, despite all the work Mom and I had been doing to find the best plan for the both of them.

This episode is really more about my little sister than anything.

It gives a little background into our childhood and maybe explains a bit about what she brings to our family dynamics.

I do not want to demean or disrespect my sister. She'll never know how much I have taken up for her in all of this. I do believe a lot of her current behavior is because of grief.

But sometimes you can go too far in your behavior and are no longer allowed an excuse.

During these weeks in rehab, my dad’s behavior changed, my mom withdrew, and the cracks in our family communication widened. I share the moments that didn’t make sense at the time — the confusion, the tension, the unanswered questions — and how those moments set the stage for the truth I wouldn’t uncover until later.
