things I learned from dealing with my sister

There are some people you can't reassure. You just can't. A switch in their mind is permanently set to 'guilt trip' and there is no way to switch it off.

But boy, am I running out of paper bags to breathe into while I watch this derail into a crowded intersection.

Families are tough.

Yeah. And there's been a lot of things happening the last three months which is just adding stress.

Sigh. That sounds like it really, really sucks. I'm so sorry.

It's exhausting for me watching her exhaust herself in her "obligations" to do what she thinks should be done - for a pittance. Which she's starting to realise is a pittance, but feels ashamed for having agreed to in the first place...
