​@@steelethescene I have a big sister like that, too. She hated me from my entry into this world and even told my father that I wasn't his. Why? Who knows. I tried, in vain, for years to have a relationship with her and was hurt everytime. For the longest time, I cried myself to sleep at night, because it hurt so much. I finally gave up. I told her off and went no contact for years. One year, she reached out to wish me a happy birthday, after that, we started texting birthday wishes and holiday greetings, but otherwise, we have absolutely no relationship whatsoever. I used to wonder what it would be like to have a good sister but now, eh. I've resolved it. Its her loss, and it's your sister's loss. She doesn't deserve you and you're much better off. Best wishes and many prayers for you. I don't know you, but I'm your sister in Christ and I love you. ❤️

One touch that REALLY enriches this scene is the loving expression on Suzanne's face at 1:23, as she listens to her sister defend her so vigorously. The Sugarbaker sisters lived by the same ethic as the Cartwright brothers on "Bonanza": "Anyone picks a fight with one of us/He's got a fight with me."
