Hi ALittleOne,

Sorry you've been having such struggles, you're not alone here in that respect. But I'm glad your therapy has been helping you - that's really good!

For me, I'm not exactly sure what defines a 'toxic' person, but all I know is - if my own behaviour has been respectful and considerate toward a person, but they, unfortunately, were treating me in the way your sister has been treating you, I wouldn't consider it being supportive, in fact I'd begin to consider it rude. I'd soon lose my patience with such a person.

But I know you must love your sister, of course, so, have you tried sitting down with her and explaining in a calm, non-judging manner, that you don't like being spoken to in that way? That's one thing a therapist would likely recommend.

Hang in there ALittleOne, you're doing very well.
