Default My sister's karma

Greetings:

On Sat I saw my acupuncturist and told her about the fight/disagreement that I had with my sister and that led to our presently not talking.

The acupuncturist is a practicing Buddhist.
She told me that I have zero responsibility for my sister's bad karma that put her into our dysfunctional family. It's her own karma as it was my karma that put me there too.

(This is from Nichiren Buddhism and certainly not how all Buddhists would interpret this.)
And I it doesn't sound quite right to me.

But it felt good when she said it. I can pray for my sister.
Otherwise, according to my acupuncturist, I am free/obligated to focus on improving my own karma.

That's what I will do.

Monday I see my tdoc for the first time in about 2 months.
I guess I should go to bed already.
