Why did you raise your younger sister until she was 18? Did she go off to university?

You can also party and fuck around in your 30s. It's different than 20s of course, but still great!

Also, I'd try to refrain from comparing yourself go the "normal" life. You've clearly had a unique journey (beyond "normal" might be in TV shows), and I am certain you've learnt a lot through it.

You're clearly a legend for looking after your family in the way that you did. I am sure your brother's and sisters will appreciate it in the future if they've not made it clear already.




Well, in Germany you are no longer a minor after passing 18. Before that, you need to have someone to look after you. Usually, that's your parent's job, but if they are gone, it can be grandparents, aunts & uncles, your older siblings or a complete stranger. So I applied for that role, as that was the last promise I gave to my mum - that I would look after my little sister. Well, my sister had a boyfriend at that time she turned 18, so they wanted to move together. And legally speaking, my guardianship ended on that day she turned 18.

And thank you for your kind words. <3
