My sibling (18) a few days ago got broken up with by their partner of almost 2 years. They broke up with them out of no where it seems, not to give too many details did not break it off nicely at all. They called me at midnight sobbing and I (21) sat and listened and offered every kind of support I knew until early in the morning. I had class the next day but I did not mind, they're my sibling and I care.
They text me all day telling me how they're feeling and I'm giving 24/7 help to them. At this point they were so depressed they could not get out of bed, and basically talk at me saying they missed them and not taking my suggestions for help. Today after I told them many times not to text them, they did.
Now they want to be friends again, in my experience it's a bad idea and knowing them their feelings will not fade in a month when their ex is ready. This will end up hurting them and I brought up how I did the same with my ex, they disregarded what I said completely and basically said my ex was crazy so it didn't count.
Something snapped in me and I dug into them saying they're hurting themselves, at some point I compared their ex to a tumor on an arm needed to be amputated, and said they sounded like an opioid addict when they said they felt better from doing it.
Was that my best moment, no? I felt genuinely so hurt like my opinion did not matter here, even when I put love and care into taking care of them. I knew there was nothing I could do or say for them to consider my opinion and it hurt my feelings. Looking an hour from then I'm wondering if I went to far? They're still struggling with the breakup, and it might have been too early 3 days fresh to explode. I have been struggling a lot recently too (which they've been aware of), so this happening I think overwhelmed me. Overall I genuinely do not know, and want some people's opinions if I'm an asshole.
