I wonder why your parents never got Lydia tested if they suspected she's dyslexic?
Your worries for Anna are some of the same concerns I have about my own sister. Dad lives with her and she looks after him. I'm impressed by her playwriting, though! Especially for someone so young.
This kind of reminded me of my extended family, which I wrote a little bit about here (http://yako.livejournal.com/10750.html). I don't have a bit immediate family, but I do sure have a lot of relatives. I also love them and want them in my life regardless of whether they agree with some of my life decisions. I think it's the kind of thing that's hard to explain why to someone who doesn't regard family with the same importance.
Also, I should totally scan one of the photos I have of me, my siblings and my cousins all wearing similar clothes my Mum made us. You're not alone!
