Great job coming here to rant.
Stomp your feet as much as you like. You're entitled.
Also, everyone is allowed a moment (or 1000 moments) of weakness. Doesn't matter in the least as long as you don't drink, which you didn't. So give yourself a break. In fact, give yourself a big old pat on the back. Break out the ice cream, plan to get your nails done tomorrow, buy something online, dance a jig. You did good, girl.
After you're done celebrating, let's not forget to problem-solve the problem at hand. It really got under your skin, so let's take a page from my recent lesson book and see what can be done about that, practically speaking and/or at the "feelings" level.

thank you, thank you. Yes, I didn’t drink and shall celebrate that (later, perhaps with the manicure idea) after I get less pissed off. It’s just so stupid. I would do ANYTHING for the people I love. I literally can’t imagine telling a newly sober family member they couldn’t bring their pup with them if
they were traveling to see me, and I also had a dog that their dog got along with. It’s literally beyond understanding. But now I’m getting myself all riled up again. The real truth is that my sister’s husband sucks and I know he is behind this. So I can’t let him win by not visiting my sister (as I won’t let him get in the way of my relationship with her), and yet I’m so frustrated she goes along with such a jackass. Deep breaths.
