[QUOTE="SearchingForRainbows, post: 528602, member: 3388"] Hi Denise, It's nice to "meet" you. As you know, it's impossible to change the relationship between your mother and sister. If your mother and sister aren't going to put in the effort necessary to have a better relationship with each other, and you're tired of the constant fighting, then in my humble opinion, provided you're at least 18 years of age, it's time for you to move out. Although I don't know enough about the situation, from the little I know, it sounds like it's time for your sister to move out. It sounds like she wants it all - The security of not having to provide for herself and the luxury of taking advantage of mom's not being able to let go. Your mother has a part in this too - For whatever reason, she is allowing your sister to take advantage of her caring nature, caring, in my humble opinion, to the point of being detrimental to both of them. Although my situation was very different from yours, I had to move my oldest son out of the house about three years ago. It was the best decision I ever made. With time, he and I got closer. Now, we're closer then we've ever been, and while I don't see him as much as I wish I could, the time we spend together is very special. Believe it or not, your mother and sister could end up having a wonderful relationship too, with a bit of time and some distance between them. Not sure if anything I said is helpful, take what you want, leave the rest, just my two cents... You sound like a very caring and loving person. Your family is lucky to have you... SFR [/QUOTE]
