it's all clear now

i always resented you both for treating her better. i resented all the days that i had to sit outside school waiting or find my own way home because you had something else to do when she never had to. i resented the loads of washing, the dishes i washed, the meals i cooked because she never had to. i resented doing my own ironing when you did hers. i resented having to pay for my own tickets when you paid for hers. i resented never having your support when i was competing because you never miss a single competition she competes in. i resented being ignored because you always have things to say to her. i resented you for loving her more.

but now it's clear that you do what you do for her because she can't actually look after herself and it's time to thank you for allowing me to be independent because i can survive by myself and she can't.
