I don't but you deserve a medal for doing it. I don't even talk to my siblings. May God bless your day.

If you still have your own home I would keep it and rent it out if you move in with your sister. If your sister would die where would you go if you no longer own your home?

Both my brother and sister have died...I don't know that I could live with them for a Long time, but I'd be very grateful if they offered me a place to stay when I was down on my luck. When I was quite ill with bp1, after hospitalized I lived with my parents, I was 30 at the time and my sister had just died. Moving back home was hard, yet I today am very grateful I was able to stay with them...I couldn't take care of myself.

I think Invisablefriend has a good idea, to keep where you live now. I wrote to you before I think it is important for you to do some leg work 'before' moving...group home, renting a room in a house where she lives...or at least get some ideas that she can help you with to move forward. I would not go to live with her having the expectation that 'she will fix your life' only You can do that, and you will do that when you are ready to move forward.

She would always tell me that I chose to...

    It's been some time since my last post...sorry. I've been going through a challenging time with the sale of my home, purchase of a condo and my adult asperger son that lives with me. I've had days where I couldn't get out of bed, days where I stayed in my pj's and days where all I managed to do was eat, drink fluids and take care of my Sweet Mia kitty. Sweet Mia came to me from a shelter about...
