[quote=Anonymous]1 - check with the landlord/tenant office or laws in your area and see if she qualifies as a tenant and if you would need to follow a formal eviction process if it comes to that.

2- Get boxes and start boxing up her stuff. There will be yelling. There will be tears. There will be crying.  Just keep packing. Do not scream and yell back. Pick a mantra and learn to say it in a even tone voice something like  "I know growing up is hard. It's tough to move on. I will miss you being here too but you will be close by. I know you can do this. You have to do this"

3 - Either ignore mom's text or reply with reality " Mom, sister and you are bullying me. Please stop trying to guilt me into doing something that is inappropriate just because it makes it easier on you both." or "I am happy to help sister move into your house mom. We can be there this Sat or Sun
 Or "I know growing up is hard. It's tough to move on. I will miss sister being here too but she will be close by. I know she can do this. She has to do this"

4 - If you feel consumed with guilt or simply can't take action, seek out a therapist to help you with your feelings and help you develop healthy boundaries with your family.
