That’s hard to deal with when you’re going through such a stressful time. Maybe hurtful too, that it’s a “close relative”.
I think you’re right about not trying to change her mind; what she thinks is really not the issue here.
Is there anyone one else you can reach out to? A friend, neighbor, church group or counselor maybe? I know where I live the mental health system has peer counselors that you can talk to over the phone. They will also call and check on you.
We’re here for you too. Please keep us informed.

I definitely relate to your pain, I’ve dealt with the same issue many times. I too have a sister younger than me and very different in personality but also cold and uncaring. It really hit me hard when I had my 2nd cancer surgery and she phoned me two weeks later only to complain to me about problems she was having…it was definitely over for me with her because nothing ever worked out and now she’s really shown me how little she cared, I still struggle with my feelings about her but I will not give in. It’s very unfortunate that these things happen when you’re healthy you can cope but when your health isn’t so good you need love and support, someone told me to cut off ties with people who hurt you because they will only be a drain on your health and soul, best wishes for your recovery.
