Yes I realize this is not a question.

She's packing up her kid and a few bags of clothes and taking off from PA to FL, to live with a friend because she's mad at our mother here in PA. No job, no money, no health insurance, no car, no husband, etc. For the first time EVER (and she's 24, I'm 30) she cursed me out and hung up on me when I tried to kinda talk her out of such a rash move.

Thoughts, anyone? OK how about a little sympathy? Come on, I only have 2 friends (being the little anti-social Asperger's person that I am)... and 1 of those friends is Little Sis! We have a really close family too... this really sucks.

sorry to hear that but she sounds a bit immature with her actions toward both you and your mom put the best spin on it that you can and then go about your own life the best that you can. she may learn quickly how difficult life "out there" is and come back closer if not ther is little or nothing that yo can d about that she has to live her own life again I know this may not have been what you were looking for but such is life make the very best of it that you can and cover your mom that will help you and her feel better. always helps to think of someone else's feelings at times like these.

Oh dear, I'm sorry. I know you'll miss her terribly. Try not to be older sister, try to be just a friend. Call her soon. In fact, can you help her pack? How is she getting there? Could you go with her part of the way? Look after her kid until she gets settled?

Try to see it in a positive light - she probably won't ever grow up as long as she lives with mom. Yes, it sucks that she's going to suffer, and yes it sucks even more that her kid will suffer. But maybe they won't? Maybe she'll pull herself together, and succeed?

I hope the kid isn't in school. And I also hope she isn't illegally taking the child away from a father who has partial custody.

And I'm not going to tell you to make "new" friends. I know exactly how hard that is.

Finally, find out her new address. Send her flowers or a fruit basket or such. (Ideally something that the friend and kid will get to enjoy too.) Stay in touch, regardless of her life choices.

You're 22 ... I'm guessing no kids, not married? If you have noone to answer to, I say, go for it! When I was 23, I moved from Wisconsin to Vegas ... sight unseen, with only about $500 ... I would suggest having more money than that, though.

Life is tough if you think about it. If that's the best your sister can do , wish her luck. Try to do your best . May God bless all of you in whatever you do. You never know, something could come out good out of this situation. Wish you all the best.

She's 24 years old, an adult, she is entitled to live her own life her way.
