"we only tear you down because we love you"
there comes a point where enough is just that.
Enough.

Having to stand up to my own mother has been the lesson that teaches over and over again.
You don't have to agree with my choices
I'm not asking for approval
what I *am* asking for is respect for my choices
if you don't like them, either put up a constructive critique or keep your opinions to yourself.

You have a child
I'm sure you are in a space where you can ask your sister to acknowledge you as another adult.

Oftentimes you have to show people how to treat you
Take this visit by the horns and show yourself who's the boss.
