I Know My Daughter Shouldn't Be Her Sister's Caretaker, But It's Happening Anyway
Briefly

As a parent, I have to ensure that Eva is not burdened with feelings of obligation. I want her to feel love, not responsibility.
Eva's experience as a big sister to an autistic sibling comes with challenges that require her to be patient and flexible frequently.
There's a clear bond between my daughters, which assures me that Eva assists her sister out of love and not out of obligation.
I strive to balance my reliance on Eva while ensuring she does not feel overwhelmed. I need to be careful not to foster resentment.
