[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here: I just texted her to let her know she needed to come home and start packing or I would do it for her. She immediately replied (which is uncommon for her, she usually takes hours to respond) [b]"DO NOT TOUCH MY STUFF! BACK THE F OFF."[/b] I responded that she had until the end of the day tomorrow to get it all out or I would handle it the quickest, easiest way possible.

Of course, now I feel sick and anxious. Aside from the fact that I probably have to spend another next 2 days looking at this mess (which might get worse, depending on her actions), there is bad blood and tension. I don't understand why I can't have an adult relationship with my adult sister. This whole thing makes me want to crawl in bed and not come out until Tuesday morning. [/quote]

It's perfectly fine for you to pack up her stuff. Just because she becomes hysterical doesn't mean you stop the process of moving her out.

Sadly, your lifelong technique of believing that if you just do this next very nice thing your mom and sister will suddenly love you, apologize for being jerks and change isn't going to happen.  The only thing you can change is your own behavior.

Lastly, if you have a child, you need to think of your child and ask yourself if you would want your child to act like you in the future as an adult. Your child is learning from watching you.
