I feel lost

[-Adam]

Basically, my 18 year old brother moved out 2 days ago. Me and my brother were like best mates, and when he moved i felt crushed.

Call me sad: When I think of ll the memories, it makes me cry relly badly. Hes only 5 minutes walk away, but without him to speak to I really feel lost.

Is there anything I could do?

If you are lost, buy a map?


I'm sure you'll get used to it! When my brother moved out he didn't just move 5 minutes away, but to the other side of Australia! One of the best things that has happened to me.

Hmm.. i dunno, i can read between the lines! Just walk to his house then, and as you grow older you won't want to hang around your brother 24/7 either, its really not cool.

I dont care if its not cool. Hes my family.

I don't really know how old you are, so I can only assume that your brother has matured with age and is now ready to be independent, you may have done everything when you were together, but if he is ready to leave then he may not have been as close to you as you were to him. Then again he is only a short distance away so if you want to hang out etc. it isn't hard to, so you could just be overreacting because he's never left home and you don't know what the future would hold. Personally I would just say that he's grown up and ready to be more independent, and if he hasn't taken account of how you feel, perhaps he didn't view your relationship as anything serious, just brothers. You will grow out of it though just as he has as you mature.

Just move on. Moving on from something which you find so tragic and hard will make you a stronger and more independent person, which is clearly what you're brother has turned out to be and now he's left.

Talk to your parents about this if none of the above help.

same here. feels empty walking into his room and having the house quiet. I'm used to it now (been a week) but still miss him loads.
5 minutes away - go see him every day?

I'm 18, almost 19 and my bother is 19, almost 20 and we still do everything together. Why is not doing things with your brother not 'cool'?

What is cool?
