You know the old saying about not being able to choose our relatives like we can our friends?
I think a lot of times, people are afraid to admit - even to themselves - that some people are just toxic to them, especially when one of those people is a relative (and in this case, a very close one).
My opinion about toxic people is that you have to grant yourself permission to carefully choose the dose of them you can take - if at all. My mother was one of those people for me. I've always said I don't think I've ever personally met an evil person, but if I have, it was my mother. For the last ten years of her life, I had very limited contact with her, mostly only by phone.
If your interactions with your sister only bring you down, then maybe you should consider giving yourself permission to determine the amount of contact you have at all with her.
