I’m 25F. My little brother moved in with me after our parents split up last year and it’s honestly been amazing.

Q+A in the comments about our life together is welcome, I’m happy to respond!

This is a happy confession. I’m 25 and my little brother is 11. We’ve always been incredibly close, even with our age gap, and we’re super similar. He’s absurdly mature and intelligent, an old soul for sure.

After years of drama in their marriage, last year our parents finally got divorced. But rather than drag my little brother out of state with either one of them, we all agreed as a family that he would move in with me so we could stay together as brother and sister in the city we’ve always called home.

It’s been a year now and it’s honestly been wonderful. My little brother is my favorite person in the world and I love sharing our tiny apartment and our life together

    So lovely! Was there something else going on that made your parents feel ok moving away from him? Like money troubles, drugs, other responsibilities etc? I don’t think I could ever willingly leave my underage kid.
