I hope I am not sounding not polite, but is it possible for you to not look at your sisters mails in the morning? I know how hard it can be to change habits, but if you start with delaying looking at them first and then try to put it some hours out of your view, perhaps that will help to make your mood more stable. You have gone through more than enough in the last weeks.

Thanks, Rosi!
Not impolite advice at all! Common sense. It is hard to fight the compulsion to look, but I need to do so.
Not hearing from my sister yesterday made a huge difference in my mood. This isn't to say that I want to shut her out long-term, though. I just need a break. I want this to be over asap. I know she feels the same. I do worry that the whole selling of part of our dad's property (on the market) is causing anger and rifts. After that's all done, my sister wants to "buy me out" of the remaining property. Already she only wants to offer me a ridiculously low amount. I don't want to force it be put on the market (against her wishes), but offering me too little would cease to mean I get 50%. Yes, compromising is needed, but me getting notably less than 50%? I'm not a fool! And that wouldn't be nice of her. I'm not rich to be giving my inheritance away. She already has more wealth than me. "Buy outs" between siblings are bad news, I think.
