I have to talk to her, I don’t want to, last time she upset me so badly, I got pain in my stomach, it was like knots in my stomach & it was tight. I never thought before that my sister makes me want to die. Do anybody here really don’t get along with a sibling or parents?

We go through brief periods of being annoyed with each other, maybe not taking, but there's never been any time I've been so upset by a sibling that I get all worked up about having to talk to them about something, no. Nothing like that.

I do habe a lot of relatives that I might never speak to for the rest of my life, though. But even with all of them, it doesn't make me all upset or have my stomach in knots of want to die or anything like that. The moments I do think about them I might get a little bit angry, and then realize that's such a waste of my energy and try to just let it go and simply not think about them at all. Much better and healthier that way to occupy my mind with things and people that matter to me and my life and my goals etc and not waste time & energy being bitter about people who wronged me in some way or another.

Yeah, this. Can you text or email?

I assume you have to talk to her about either $ from your family trust, or about some sort of help you need with health or life. If that's the case, is there someone else you can communicate with about these things and just avoid your sister entirely?

If not, at least try to do it in the least stressful way possible. Text/email might work. You can keep things concise and only discuss the business at hand and not get into anything personal or upsetting at all and then you'll also have a written record of her responses you can refer back to as needed for information.
