It's incredibly unfair and inconsiderate of your sister and mother to put you right in the middle of their drama, especially when it doesn't even concern you. At this point, whenever you become their sounding board to vent about each other, simply say something like, "I'm sorry, but I can't deal with this anymore. You two are constantly putting me in the middle of your drama and it's stressing me out, which is not fair. You are my family and I love you both very much, but you two need to work out your differences on your own. I can't help you." Maybe even suggest that they try going to counseling together if they feel that they need an objective mediator to help them sort out their problems and work on their relationship. They certainly sound like they both could use some professional help. If they continue to call and/or text solely to complain to you, just don't answer. Too bad if it offends them. That's their issue, not yours. They sound exhausting to be around and you have a right to a stress-free life and to not get dragged into other people's nonsense. Good luck!
