That makes sense- I think I have lost this idealization of my sister's relationship. I think I wanted to hold onto this unrealistic image of them because my parents have an abusive relationship, and this was like evidence to me that there is hope. That my sister could still have a healthy life. That's probably why I had such a strong reaction, but I don't know, maybe I didn't actually lose that.
