Deneb, your sister maybe on the outside looking like she is doing better but my h is doing fantastic he has the highest position of his life making an unreal amount of money but that doesn't mean he doesn't suffer from bouts of neediness as I call it. His boss is the CEO of the company and talk about someone needing a hand held all the time. Now the guy that owns the company a guy with some major bucks and is really successful he doesn't. He is some one who would listen to any of us with an open mind. I have met some influential people through my husband and I can always spot those that are still under it all that has self esteem issues. Just look at hollywood. Filled with successful people with drug problems, alcohol problems, and self esteem issues although they may be box office attractions. Successful I think has several measures. My husband has two masters and could easily get a phD if wanted. He probably will. He is a very intelligent man that comes and ask for my advice constantly. Of course I am the more intelligent one. LOL. I actually graduated from undergrad school from Vanderbilt with a higher gpa than he did. And my scores to into grad school were higher I didn't go because I got pregnant. And it was high risk.
Now I am messed in my head and he is too probably just better at hiding it or dealing with it who knows. He does sometimes talk down to me and one of my parts comes out takes him down a notch or too and we go on. It works.
I think success is how you measure it. I don't measure myself as a successful person right now. But that is me. He does. It is an individual thing. Your sister I am afraid is insecure and you are her measuring stick. So I don't think she will let you go up because then she will have to do more. She doesn't want to so you can. Blow her off for your sake. She is your sister you love her but you don't have to accept her view of you. You get to make your own view of your self.
You are ok the way you are. Dont change or do anything for her. do it for you. only.
take care.
