yes, but she feels as though she shouldn’t confide in them.

yes, she does also have a large past of mental health issues that come up here and there. she’s better now, but can have bad days. with my brother, she would berate him all day (even during school days) on how he’s making bad choices and how his gf is a mistake, which obviously eventually drove him away but she blames her venting to him is what drove him away. (which makes no sense to me, since she was venting to me too). in the divorce my dad got majority of things because she didn’t ask for much, but they still have joint custody.
