Both of my parents are often stressed out because money is tight in our family. So ever since my sisters and I were little my parents had little energy or time to spend with us. My father would work overtime to get acting and writing jobs. When he did not get them, my mother would stress out. Sometimes fights would break out which could get very heated and difficult to listen to. Fortunately, I was lucky enough to have my younger and older sisters around. My two sisters and I have always been very close and I could not imagine getting through the rougher parts of my childhood without them. My older sister especially would always be there for me. If I had a bad day, her signs of almost motherly like affection would comfort me and also influence me to exhibit such behavior towards my sweet younger sister. We were also able to relate to each other’s pain of having to deal with our authoritarian parents. For instance, one time one of my sisters brought home a report card with a C on it. My parents sat her down and told her that C stood for a not so polite word for feces. Thus, we were able to sympathize with each other whenever instances such as these occurred. A lot of the emotional gaps I felt from my parents constantly feeling stressed and not really being there were filled by my loving sisters. I do not imagine our strong bond breaking any time
