Hey OP, I just wanted to say, that even recognizing that dissonance within yourself as harmful is very hard. You are doing great.

Yeah, I don't have the immigrant experience per se (maybe? the grandmother that really didn't like me was an immigrant, but she wasn't like the other side of my family where my great grandparents actually had the "fleeing from death, destruction, and persecution to try for a better life for the next generation and themselves," and they were dead before I was born), but both Luisa and Isabella's personal stories, as well as Abuela's story, hit me really hard, because of where my family came from and my own place in my family. It's hard seeing such a clean resolution and change when you know how that stuff works in real life and not a Disney film. But, I think the more I think about it the more I like the reconciliation and return of the magic, because of symbolic reasons. I would like that to happen in life. Even if it never happened in mine.

But your feelings are super valid to be touchy about the ending. It's very hard stuff, and a lot of families don't fix it or reconcile with it.
