I'm not trying to attack you. All I'm saying is she isn't technically an aunt. She is a being created by magic and she does share all of Regina's experiences from Regina's POV. Saying that siblings share the same experiences is somewhat true, but they see them from their own viewpoint. No two siblings are as similar as Regina and Serum Queen because even if they are each their own existence now they were the same person. Serum Queen is at this point mostly a copy of Regina, so comparing her to an aunt is inaccurate, because she isn't. Speaking as someone who has a sibling, I am totally different from my sister and interpret things totally differently. Even if we go through the same stuff, we don't have the exact same memories. I feel different emotions than her and consequently my memories are colored differently. For example, I'm currently on a trip to New York. She'll remember buying pants with koi fish embroidered on them whole I'll remember being really sick. Even if we both went to New York, we had differing experiences. Serum Queen and Regina were, and in many ways can still be considered to be, literally the same person. She is not Regina's sister. She isn't Henry's aunt, either. He calls her "mom." In short, rather than it being only me who is unable to acknowledge Serum Queen as Regina's sister, I think you might want to take a look at canon.
