[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sister needs to move out and get her own place. Why would she move back in with your mom?? [/quote]
+1 She's just adding insult to the injury.[/quote]

I understand she might need a brief period getting a new apartment figured out, but there definitely needs to be a strategy for independent living.

Question. Has your sister ever lived alone? You said she's mid-twenties. Has she always lived at home, or perhaps roommates at college? I think it would be really good for her to live on her own. As an added bonus a healthy self-esteem is very attractive, and while she certainly doesn't need to be jumping back into a relationship anytime soon, ultimately she's much more likely to find a healthy, well-adjusted person if she is herself in a good place mentally.

Maybe she could come visit you for a long weekend, and you can encourage her to figure out the steps for getting her own place (plus giving your sister and mom a break from each other).[/quote]
