Agree with changing your mindset.

Op, my older sister and I were close as children.  She had severe LDs and the older she got the more aware of our differences.  Not like my life was a bowl of cherries, but she resented the hell out of everything I did that she did not.  It makes me sad because I wanted to be close.  She has some limitations but she also has a lot of talents that she tended to undersell.  She started mellowing in her 40s.  But I didn’t give up on trying to have a relationship with her.  We are in our 50s and I make sure to keep in touch with her especially now since we don’t live in the same state.

Love yourself and you will able to love your sister.  Let your love for yourself and your family squeeze out past resentments, petty jealousies.  These negative thoughts are worth the brain space and are holding you back.  Time for a fresh start.
