A group of people who are always ready to help and support, in word and deed.
So did all her family.
However, lets talk about everything in order.
As the authorsmotherstated, so as not to upset her sister.
The Original Poster got a promotion at work?
Hush, its not the proper time to tell about it!
Her boyfriend proposed to her?
Not now, just look at your sister!
She might get upset!
She loves her sister very much and sympathizes with her as well.
Probably so that the sister would not be hurt however, her sister herself would never shut her down.
And again, as always, her mother abruptly intervened in her story.
But this time the OP objected to her.
The woman loudly declared: Cant I share anything good in my life?
I thought youd all be happy for me!
Nobody found anything to say, and the author stormed out of her parents house.
However, now she is overcome by mixed feelings.
On the one hand, she feels awkward in front of her sis.
On the other hand, she understands that this really cannot continue.
So the OP decided to seek advice online.
They are actually creating an atmosphere of sadness and despondency around her.
Not the best atmosphere for anyrecovery process.
And shes not to blame for what happened to her sister.
It is at this level that that same emotional closeness is created, so important between related people.
), Passive Constructive (Mmmm, Okay.
), Active Destructive (That will mean you will have less time for me.)

And only an Active Constructive answer really supports your well-being.
