someone in my family is unraveling and it's got me heartsick. i was asked to call twice a week to give support, but i don't know what kind of support to be giving. i feel so much like i've let her down, like i was too busy with my life to be more available.
sometimes i guess you just hope and hope so much that you don't see what's really going on. or is it that you expect and expect? habits are so hard to break, and if hers continue another 6 months the heartsickness will be a heartbreak. is it possible to love someone without knowing how to show you love them?
J has a talent that's hard to explain. he understands relationships and when, where, and how to hang onto them. i could use a bit of it now. i want to be the sister that i wasn't.
