I felt that very familiar sense of not being okay if I felt anything. My sister has been dealing with severe anxiety the last year and is seeing some correlation to our family issue, but unless she is in crisis she does not want to talk about it. We are just as incapable of those 'what do you need' conversations as the drama family.
