Hello again, Fuzzybear. I have tried everything. There is no small or large thing I can do that will cause my sister to stop demanding that I listen to her pain. I know the pain. She causes me pain. The family grew up in pain. I do not want to listen to her pain. I think it suffices that she tells me that something I did or said, in the family tradition of telling her how she thinks about something (that's what I apparently inadvertently did) made her feel very, very bad. Of course I am sorry she feels bad, but I don't need the details, because I know them all because The Argument has happened for years and years. And for those who asked if we have therapists, yes, we both have therapists. She had another therapist for years and years, and it must not have been a very good therapist, because I did not see any improvements in her life. She is a menace, and just does not know how to treat people. She says she loves me, but she doesn't know what love is.
