Hello,
I am a 16 year old female. I'm not transitioning into adulthood right now but I'm having trouble with my sister going away to college in about 4 weeks. I am very close to her and I'm worried about when she is leaving and it will just be me and my mom. I feel like something will happen to her when she leaves and I won't be able to see her again. Any tips?

I'm inclined to agree with you about the separation anxiety with your sister and your parents, which is completely normal. As far as how specifically to handle this, I wonder if you have talked to your sister and/or parents about this yet, perhaps you can all come up with ways to deal with this adjustment together.

I'm not sure what specifically to tell you, you seem aware that you're worried that she'll go away and not come back. What do you think is going to happen to her?

I'm just thinking like something bad will happen and I'll never be able to see her again. Sometimes I feel like I would have to like do something just for her to have a reason to like come home. I also have the feeling even like maybe it's separation anxiety or whatever with her and my parents.

I haven't talked to either because I'm pretty sure that they really don't care. If I do they won't even like do anything to help most likely.
