Struggling with Jealousy Over Sister’s Wedding Gifts

Dear Society Members,

I hope this message finds you well. My name is Avery, and I am writing to seek your advice on a matter that has been troubling me deeply. My younger sister, Lillian, is getting married soon, and while I am genuinely happy for her, I find myself consumed by jealousy when I think about the wedding gifts she is receiving, particularly from our stepfather, William.

William has always been a generous man, but his recent gestures towards Lillian’s wedding have made me feel overlooked and less favored. He has gone out of his way to ensure that Lillian gets extravagant gifts, and while I understand that it is a special occasion, I can’t help but feel a sting of jealousy and confusion over why he is acting so differently now compared to how he was when I got married.

I cherish my sister and our relationship, and I do not want these feelings to cause a rift between us. However, I am struggling to understand William’s behavior and how to cope with these overwhelming emotions. How should I address this situation? Should I speak to William directly, or is there a way to manage my feelings without causing conflict?

Thank you for taking the time to read my letter. Any advice or perspectives you could offer would be greatly appreciated.

Warm regards,

Avery
