That's sad that you two can't talk about your family but I don't talk to my sisters too often about their issues. I am the one accused of shutting down but I see things differently. My sister is on medication and I've taken her to her therapist. I'm sure I wouldn't be told about my sisters issues if she didn't need someone dependable once in a while to lean on. she's had a lot of medical issues as well. And yes, she knows if I am spending the night, I'm probably going to scrub her floors. lol I guess I'm wondering if your sister is an introvert and doesn't really shut down.
Thanks for the update about your visit. I don't think visiting your old home was a mistake but I'm not a therapist and your therapist has you talking to your friends so I'd go with her advice.
