Is it normal that i am jealous of my little sister

I am a college dropout and I have yet to get back into school (but I will in a few months). Anyways I live back at home with my parents I had no choice but to move back. I work a crappy job that doesnt pay that much and I am slowly building my life back. But my little sister who graduated high school and went to college university in new york is getting all the praise. My dad is obsessed with her and my mom is too but both in their own way. Every time I hear her name and the fact that she is in NYC I get sad at myself because it is just a reminder of where I should be in life. I mean I love my sister but thats all I hear about her is how amazing it is for her to be in NYC and I am just here trying to get back on my feet and get into school while also getting my independence back.

  • You should be happy for your sister. She probably worked hard to get there. Focus on you and your problems. Everyone moves through life at there own pace. Atleast your on your way to fixing your life. It could be alot worse.
