My sisters are agreeing that everything will be okay and it's not affecting them much. But I am the eldest and I feel quite hurt. A broken family to me makes me very sad. But I am trying to understand that maybe him leaving will be better for all of us. It's very upsetting that he's going to another country...I don't think I'll even see him again. My sisters are already thinking about where to live. I am sure I can stay with my boyfriend but it's still sad because I will no longer see my Mother everyday as well as my sisters and that is what I am used to. Independence is also important I agree. I'm working on that.
