I’ve been a pretty shitty older sister to my younger brother. I’m afraid I’ll lose him. We’ve both done each other wrong but I feel like as an older sister, I need to take more accountability for my actions and be a little more forgiving. I feel really horrible about the things I’ve said and I don’t know if I can ever forgive myself for them. I took our relationship for granted and now I feel like it’s forever scarred. I’ve apologized to him but this is still weighing heavy on me.

Tell him exactly what you just said. It shows a lot of honesty and vulnerability. Hopefully he will recognize that and it will help mend the bridge.

Agreed, let him know how much it weighs on you and ask what you can do to repair your connection. The fact that you want to connect is probably encouraging, you just have to be able to say it.

Took LOA last year, multiple months. Recovered from burnout driven by long hours during covid. But feel like I'm now experiencing burnout in a different form.

I don't want another break from work, I want to keep doing things (eg not so drained I want to take months off) but this seems like burnout and I don't know what to do.
