I really feel for you hon. I know how hard it is to open up to family members. A lot of mine still don't know after 8 years.
I think the only advice I could give would be that you've known about this for a long time and have had chance to imagine the type of response you wanted.
Your sister had no right to make you feel bad about telling her, and I'm sorry that happened, but what is worth considering is she has had no time to think about this as you have. It came as a shock and she perhaps didn't react the way you'd hoped but I am sure she cares.
She has taken the first step by asking you these questions. You were so brave to tell her, perhaps now you can try to answer her.
SI is a very difficult thing to understand unless you are personally involved. The only way people will understand is if we try and help them and I'm no expert on this myself!
Perhaps just try to thank her for her questions and say you will answer them but in your own time, and just ask her for now, if she'll give you a hug and be your sister.
Thinking about you hon. PM me anytime, anytime at all.
*hug*
