Cierra - I love "Language Barrier" as a way to describe this. My experience with my family is similar to yours. I'm 62 and the youngest of 9 children. There is a 20-year age difference between my oldest sister and me. It's tough being the youngest or the lowest on the totem pole when it comes to family dynamics. Oftentimes my siblings don't take me seriously. I take myself seriously anyway. Sounds like you're responding the same way in your dynamics. Bravo for not allowing it to make you become a barrier to yourself.
Thank you so much! I know we talked about this earlier and that makes so much sense. We've gotta be our biggest advocates and stand in our own coners! Thank you for sharing, and so so sorry for such a late reply!
