Anyone every feel like this? only sister moved out. i feel so depressed

Question

Its kind of self explanatory. my older sister, who is 19, moved out today. she moved into an apartment with her boyfriend. We are the only two children, so i have no other siblings. I feel so alone. my dad is always on business trips and my mom only cares about the house being clean! i feel like crying myself to sleep. just thinking about her not being her is making me break down. i am not a softy but sometimes the simplest things hit me hard in the heart and i can't hold back. any one ever felt like this?

Answer 1

you are lonely for your sister, you are feeling normal feelings.

Answer 2

Well, this happens when we least expect it. Suddenly, they are gone and they don't even call. And even worse, you never miss them until they are really gone and it hurts. It is good thing to have this kind of experience because not all people have this chance. Somehow, you are lucky because you can learn from such an experience. My resolution was, everytime a person come close to me, I make their time with me as the best time of their life so parting will not be so painful because they will always find time to come back and enjoy the time again.

The way I see it, you have not let your sister know how important she is to you. If she knew this, she would have considered not to leave you alone with your mom. But then, it's not too late. You can always call her to tell her that you miss her and that mom doesn't seem to fill in the void. Maybe a weekly visit can make things a little bearable.

On the other hand, try to look closely to what your mom is doing. Maybe your mom really does care. Moms have instincts and they can feel the pain when they see it on their kid's face. Take this as an opportunity to get closer to your mom. Who knows, you might even discover that she is more fun to be with than your sister because she is in fact your mom.

Well, if you don't want to feel this way again, appreciate what the people around you are doing to make your life comfortable and fun. Don't forget to tell them how you appreciate what they are doing for you and at the same time, do something that will make remember you and feel good about you - so they would think twice or even trice before they leave you alone.
