{Post B Week 3}

Dear Anna,

That must have been quite the surprise when the notice of your legal affair was brought to your mother when you all were with your sister as she was receiving a transfusion treatment!! I can't imagine what it was like for everyone to have the peacekeeper of the family suddenly turn and ask for her own rights to herself. I think that your mother became extremely irrational, when Kate got really sick and the nurses had to be paged. It is a little bit weird that with all this sudden family stress/trauma that Kate's health would rapidly decline. When Jesse welcomed you to the dark side, I wonder how his thoughts of you have changed since finding out that you no longer want to be a part of Kate's lifeline. It seems that Jesse has made that decision, being that he refuses to live in the house like a normal family member and instead reside above the garage. Jesse seems like a good person to go to when the rest of the family is far too frustrated with your decision to seek medical emancipation. I think that the hardest part is going to be feeling guilt about Kate, and that if you succeed in receiving the medical emancipation that you seek that you are not responsible or reliable for supplying Kate with extra cells. Because Kate never got the chance to have a normal childhood, with being in and out of multiple treatments, she never really got to make any good friends, and that is why you're so important to her, being the closest thing she has to a friend.

Best of Luck,
