My daughter is not handling her brother leaving very well. He's 26. She's 16. He did move out 4 years ago when we pretty much made him, but he only lived 2 miles away. So, he has always been around for his sister. He's always gone to watch her play softball when games are local etc. He still came over 1-2 times a week and had dinner with us.
She's a young, emotional teenager. She understands that he needs to go off do his thing & find his own way. But at the same time, she doesn't know life without him being around.
I feel for all of the parents in this thread. I'm not going to do well when my daughter goes off to college in 2 years even though she's likely going to be 45 minutes up the road.
