[QUOTE="Andy, post: 214091, member: 5096"] I agree with Terry - stay involved as a mentor. You are so amazing to consider taking on the responsibility of your sister 24/7, however, I don't know that doing so would solve anything in the long term. I think it will be easier for you and your sister if you have a level of detachment. If your sister did move in with you, she may soon loose the level of respect she has for you. As she becomes a teenager, she will start defying authority even more so and if you are her guardian, you will get all her defiance. If you keep the relationship as a loving big sister, you will have a better chance of her following your advise. If she only sees you on weekends and a few hours each night a few times a week, it will stay special for her. [/QUOTE]
