Is it wrong to not want to hear my mom rant/vent to me about her deteriorating marriage?

[Anonymous]

Let me start off by saying me and my mom were never super close. She has her beliefs and I have mine. She got into a very heated argument with my step dad earlier and I told my sister about it, my sister told me to go talk to her to see how she’s doing and I told her that I wasn’t comfortable doing that. She then told me that I needed to be there for my mom and I said something like that’s between them 2 (my mom and her husband). My sister got super pissed and said that I should be there so that my mom could vent to me and that I’m immature for not talking to her. I love my mom but I don’t think I should insert myself in that situation and my sister doesn’t really seem to understand that. Is that really such a bad thing?

i think it's depressing and you shouldn't insert yourself into it. Let her deal with it.
Your mom will have her own friends to vent with. Dont do anything you feel uncomfortable with, your sister is annoying.

Everyone has different views on this. I wouldn't want to be in the middle of it. Depending on the situation I would talk it through with her, but if it was just complaining, I would walk away.

It's not wrong. It would drive me nuts to have to put up with that all the time.

That would be difficult to hear about repeatedly, so it's not wrong.
