Sisterly Feud or Justified Stand?

In a world where family is supposed to be our safe haven, one woman finds herself at odds with her sister, following a heated argument. After losing her job due to Covid, she’s been relying on her family, only to be labelled a ‘parasite’ by her sister. In retaliation, she’s refusing to use anything bought with her sister’s money, even considering moving out. Her mother pleads for peace, but our heroine stands firm, vowing to pay back every penny once she’s back on her feet. Is she being too prideful, or is this a justified stand against harsh words? Let’s see what the internet thinks of this situation…

Bring up the point that a joke needs to make people laugh to be a joke, what she said was just mean. Also if you can have a calm conversation, try voicing why what she said made you upset in a calm logical voice, if this makes her angry, don’t even think about it anymore. NTA”
