I feel so forgotten-from the youngest sibling

once again it is the holiday season and I feel so forgotten and isolated. My sister has many issues, mental and physical and I’m so tired of being told to just “make up with her.” All I wanted was to spend some time with my mom for Christmas (parents are divorced I already saw my dad) and I’m sitting there with the two of them and it’s like I’m not even there to them. The minute I get up to leave tho I’m awful because I wouldn’t stay with them during Christmas. I don’t have the same religious beliefs and the conversations somehow always end up religious, or it’s my sister talking about how awful her life is (it’s her own doing) but I am ALWAYS the problem. I cook, clean, buy groceries, and many more things for my mom while my sister takes advantage of her constantly. My whole life I have watched, how she has hurt other people and when I try to distance myself, I’m in the wrong. I’m so frustrated and I’m so tired. Years and years of trauma and therapy still do not help this ache and frustration I feel when I’m near her. I don’t know what to do anymore and I just want to cry. All I do is work so I don’t even have friends to lean on. I feel so alone.
