I realise my sister is not doing great, up to her armpits in mental health crisis. I fully validate the legitimacy of what's going on. I love her. I very much want to help her, and have come running the moment she's said "can you watch the kids" or whatever.
I recognise all of these things.
I still don't think I deserve to be her emotional punching bag because she's upset with another person who isn't actually me
