I’m 17M and my sister is 23. My sister has been great with me all my life, and I don’t think I really appreciated her enough when I was growing up. And now I’m scared for when she finally finishes her degree and becomes a doctor. Me and her have always been close since my mother passed away 15 years ago, and I think I’ve kinda looked at her as a mother figure in a way, because I knew I could be emotional with her. Whenever I’m stressed or feeling down I go talk to her and she always makes me feel better. And now I feel like once she finally moves out, we won’t be able to do the normal stuff we do together that I’ve never really appreciated as much up until now. Like literally just sitting on the sofa and watching a tv show with her is something that I’ll miss. I feel like it’s really stupid that I’m upset about this, but I don’t think I’m emotionally independant enough to live without her.  I feel guilty about this because I still have my dad, but we don’t talk about our emotions as much, and he kind of bottle things up.
