Jealous of your siblings

I'd havw to yes at times.....reason was I was the "black sheep" in family, my two older
brothers were always "praised" for their jobs, or homes, etc..... I believe this was
one issue that figured into my distancing from the family...

I understand that. My parents thrived on pitting my brother and me against one another. I was jealous when younger. I understand the dynamic now. It happens in a lot of dysfunctional homes.
 
Well I was at first, mainly for my younger sister. She was trained with the Manhattan School of music in opera singing, I mean she has a voice, she has an incredible voice.

However she would never use it because she's afraid of crowds (Nevermind that she was in several school plays) I'm like there was talent, the ability the drive to be an incredible singer and she threw it all away.

I look at my sorry state of affairs, and realize that while I have never really tried to succeed in life, she did but yet she failed to live.
 
Have two brothers and no, never jealous and they are very, very well off financially and are happy with their spouses and/or family. However, I always wondered if I had had sisters if I would have been jealous if they didn't have to work or had a job that they loved ( I always worked and resented it as I did not have a job that I loved), or they had children as I didn't, or if they had a nice self-contained home to live in, I live in a condo. I know I'm weird, but I do tend to be more jealous of females over males about stuff.
 
Furtheermore, the 'entitled life' my parents gave my brother...did not 'far well' for him, eventually divorced..etc. etc. Not good money-handler
while I married well..etc.
