I’m facing an unexpected resurgence of jealousy I had been suppressing, but I’m seeing more clearly why I’ve felt so much jealousy over the years, and it’s making me sad. I’m wondering if you can help me unpack this.

Long story short: SD14 is struggling with mental illness. Started out as depression and anxiety, but progressed to some extremely severe episodes and disturbing behavioral patterns in a matter of weeks. She’s going to receive treatment through a partial hospitalization program soon.
