I hope you do talk to your sister about your sitch a little. It would be great if you two could work something out. A collaborative effort! Exciting.
You know what...you really hit it on the head when you said you are going to need family support to get through this. From personal experience, I can say that it is necessary, even though it comes with it's own set of stressors. But, they are family. They can forgive you and you can forgive them for all the little trespasses they will make, like asking about your sitch too much, or giving too much advice, or even judging you for your decisions. They will be there even though they are imperfect.
