I'm so glad Julie is feeling better. I'm concerned that as a 13 year old you're being put as Julie's carer. That to me sounds unsettling. Wendi told us you're 13 years old. You are still a child. I'm confused as to why this is such a good idea. Wendi had been Julie's caregiver in the past and I didn't quite understand why. I mean I understand your parents are not around but it sounds like she needs a professional aide as a carer and for you to simply be her younger sister aka being yourself without any burden should be all that is asked of you.


I apologize if this is offensive in any way. I just been parentified way too much to not feel unsettled by this. I was put in charge to raise my siblings when I my self was 6 years old which was highly traumatic for me. While this is my personal experience, I know the research on child development. In addition, it would be one thing to help out as a sister or to keep her company but being put as a caregiver is an entirely different task.


Wishing you all the best.
