Sister

Jealousy arises from a child’s desire to be the family’s only beloved possession. And the boy has no tolerance for any opponent. Sharing a mother’s love is painful. Sharing according to the understanding and experience of the child; means to settle for less. In a way, it’s like being satisfied with half an apple.
