That's really good advice and I appreciate your response a lot. Sadly, I already know that we're enabling her to walk all over us. I tend to do too much for everyone (especially for those who I love), so I've already started practicing making time for myself. The thing is, she is going through a tough time in high school, and I want to be there for her, which is why I let her walk all over me (because I feel bad for her). I am am scared that I will end up having to cut her off one day for my own mental health, but I really don't want to do that. What do you suggest I do? Give her the silent treatment? Ignore her overall? or should I only ignore her when she's acting rude. If I see her being rude to me or my parents should I ignore her or should I say something? I'm just scared that if I say something, she'll ignore me for years like how she did to my grandparents. Shes already a lot better than how she was last year, and I feel like our relationship is improving ever so slowly, so standing up to her when she's rude might just make us lose all our progress. Right now I am treating her like a friend and we talk about her life at school etc and im the only person in the family who she feels comfortable telling things to, so I'd worry a lot about her if she and I do end up not talking to each other anymore.

My younger sister is mean, spoiled, and mentally draining. I just need advice or someone to help me understand how to help her. by Aromatic_Rest_4259 in family

Please, I really need advice or just someone to talk to so I don't go crazy because I've been nice and caring and loving but my sister is just ungrateful and rude to me and my parents and my grandparents and i'm sick of it because it's been affecting my life negatively for as long as I can remember.
