I am really sad and disappointed right now. My sister decided that she was going to leave home to live with her boyfriend across the country. This was unexpected news for our family. None of us even knew that she was planning to leave. The sad thing was that I had to hear about this from someone else. She didn't even tell us until the day she was leaving which was yesterday. That made me so disappointed. And just moments ago she left without telling any of us goodbye. The only reason we knew was because our dog started barking like crazy and when we came to check she was gone. Now that I'm thinking about it not only am I sad but I'm kind of angry at her too.

Don't create angry thoughts on your mind you're just toxicating your mind. It is better to look at the brighter side of everything. Maybe, she has a big reason why she did that. Whatever it is, just pray for her guidance from the Lord. There's no better way t help but to pray for her.

I'm over being angry since it did keep me up all night. But I can't help but worry about her. She's never even met this boyfriend of hers face to face and we don't really know anything about him. I don't even know how they ended up hooking up. I do hope that everything works out for her in the end.

That's why it is better to pray for her safety and her guidance.

i think you have to lessen your feelings of sadness and anger. Harboring negative feelings will only make things worse. If ever you need to do some thinking, let it be thoughts of possible reasons she left. Maybe, if she thinks this is what's best for her, then let her be. If my sister left home without ever saying goodbye, I would probably feel angry and sad first, just like how you feel. But, this sadness and anger shouldn't linger. This will all pass. I'm not saying it's a fast process, but someday this will all be resolved. Always remember, there's sunshine after the rain.

Oh, that was just a spur of the moment thing. I'm all good with it now and I just wish the best for her. I was just glad to know that she reached her destination so I'm not worried anymore.

maybe your sister has her own secret sorrow, don't blame her until you make all clear

I'm not blaming her or anything like that. I just wish that she would have talked to me about this. I was completely lost and didn't have any idea what was going on. Makes it hard when people ask me what happened since I had no clue to begin with. It kind of made me look like an uncaring sister or something.

That is really an unreasonable thing for her to do. You are her family and she didn't even have the guts to say that she was leaving?.. They aren't even married yet, and it's not sure that they'd end up together, she may just go home broken hearted or even pregnant.. She could have at least said goodbye or wrote a letter..

I agree, time and space may be the only things that can heal her wounds and sorrow right now. Leaving your loved ones is a sad and emotionally cruel option for both sides but I believe your sister wouldn't leave without any serious reasons. She has her reasons and they may be unreasonable to you at the moment but to her, having time away means everything. Also, saying goodbye might be too hurtful and sad and so she just opted to leave without saying anything.

Oh my goodness I can understand your sadness and anger. Sounds just like something my sister would do. I am so sorry she felt the need to 'sneak' out without saying goodbye! Maybe she was having a hard time saying it and could not bring herself to face you. I hope she did not do it to be selfish but because she was hurting and did not know how to say goodbye. I hope she has a safe journey and I hope you both can figure it out.

I am so sorry. That is terrible. You have every reason to be sad and angry. You would have been a little more prepared if your sister had told the family that she was planning to move.
