[QUOTE="tictoc, post: 322216, member: 7916"] Hi, Welcome. It sounds like you don't want to take your mom's offer of another apartment right now and that you are trying to lay the groundwork to make things work in the one apartment. You are a compassionate and caring person. However...If this does not work, and it probably won't, GO! Take the other apartment. Here is my perspective, coming from a family with major addiction and enabling issues: Run, run, run. Save yourself. You are young, sound very mature and wise, and have your whole life ahead of you. But, you only get to be in college once. You only get once chance to have a fabulous experience in another country (even if it is your home country), doing an internship, and getting a trial run at adulthood. This is YOUR chance to have fun. It sounds like you have spent a lot of your life not getting to think about you. So, do it now. Your sister is an adult and must learn to help herself. If she is unable, you must let your parents offer a solution...and, for you, that solution is to move to a different apartment. Do not let your sister sabotage your internship year. You worked hard to get where you are and you deserve to enjoy it. But, that is just my opinion. You, of course, must do what is right for you. So, whatever you decide, keep coming her and let us offer you some support. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
