for a little armchair psychology….Sometimes, people just do not know how to bring up information or talk about it. They are afraid what other people might think. “They think I am a bad parent”, “where did I go wrong/ make a mistake” or other similar thoughts that put the blame on the person. I do not think that your sister does not need you but she might not know how to express her feelings and issues with you. She seems to be introverted and not know how to release the feelings, even though she may really want to. I know that sometimes when something is going wrong or someone has a problem, they are worried that people may judge them, categorize them, or be prejudice against the other people in the family. For example, if someone is facing a divorce, while family members might feel the need to talk this over with their siblings, they are afraid that now the other siblings have the black mark of a “divorced sibling” and therefore not find shiduchim. They are trying to protect their family, even though people already know. Or they could not know how to bring this up. How do you bring up a “crises” in a normal conversation?
