Dear Sugar,
When I was younger, around 14 or so, I got along great with my sister, who is 18 years my senior. She was my role model and we always had so much fun together. After I graduated from college and moved back home, my sister employed me as her babysitter.

I'm 28 and the youngest of three children. My siblings and I had a challenging childhood; our dad disappeared from our lives when we were little, and our mother suffered from severe depression. My sister, the eldest, took on the responsibilities of taking care of my brother and me, even though she was only a few years older than us.

DearSugar and Feeling Alone Faith need your help. She's planning her dream wedding, and her sisters are too jealous to support her. She's feeling terribly alone during this happy time in her life and doesn't know how to make things better.

My husband and I have been trying to have a baby for just under three years now. It's been a difficult process to say the very least. The worst of it came about nine months ago when I had a miscarriage at 14 weeks.

Whether you and your sister like the same things or are polar opposites, isn't it fun
shopping for someone in your family that you can closely relate to? My older sister isn't even in the same generation as me, but she's pretty savvy when it comes to beauty products. So my challenge this year is to find her something new and exciting that she hasn't already grown tired of.

Dear Sugar,
Last week my sister told me that she'd invited a guy to her house to watch movies and that he forced himself on her. She said he ripped her clothes off and then forced penetration and — long story short — that he'd raped her and, by the sound of it, pretty violently. She told me that he made her promise not to tell anybody.

Since most of us are preparing to spend Thanksgiving with our families, I'm sure you're getting excited. I can't wait to see relatives I haven't seen in a while, and, of course, to eat all the yummy traditional dishes we've all grown to love.
You still have a few days until the holiday, and if you're feeling overly excited or stressed out, exercising always helps.

Of course, I love everyone in my family. Each person has a special place in my heart, and my mind is filled with so many memories of all of them. I love them for what they've taught me, how they've been there for me, and what we've shared together.

Dear Sugar--
My sister, who is 36, and her 9 year old daughter, have been living with my parents for the last three years. She has a drug problem, no job and no transportation. She got a divorce from her husband three years ago and asked my parents if she could stay with them while she got her life back together.

Dear Sugar--
I asked my sister, who's 15 months younger, to be my
maid of honor. We are best friends but I also have a best non-sister friend, who I asked to be my matron of honor. I was Jen's maid of honor- but she only has a brother.
