“My Sister Called Me ‘Too Depressed To Babysit,’ So I Showed Her What That Really Meant”

Family is where we expect unconditional support, but sometimes, it’s where disagreements cut the deepest.

On the subreddit r/TwoHotTakes, a woman who goes by the nickname VeterinarianOk7010 shared how her sister, a mother of three, often counted on her for help with childcare. She always said yes, until one night, her mental health struggles became too overwhelming and she needed to rest.

However, the sister was anything but understanding.
