Searching for clarity, I turned to my sister, hoping her outside perspective might help untangle the confusion. Over coffee one afternoon, I shared everything—the progress we’d made, the lingering tension, and my growing concern about my husband’s distance. She listened with empathy, offering a steady presence that helped calm my racing thoughts. As she asked thoughtful questions about the dynamic between my husband and stepdaughter, I found myself reflecting more deeply. Speaking openly felt freeing, like the first step toward understanding what needed to change.
