Have you ever just wanted to scream your feelings at the top of a mountain?

I guess that if he's joining the Marines it's because he's going to do what he wants in life. And he'll be in need of your support,so i would give him a big hug and tell him that he's going to do it great.It always hurts when someone you love leaves, but you have to understand it's for his benefit.You'll get used to be at home alone, don't worry

sounds lile its time for you to grow up.....be an adult,...you love your brother, thats great, show him that you love him by being supportive of his decision, show him you care by writting letters of encouragment. show him the postitve independant person you have become by standing on your own two feet. You say you have never been alone for more than ten hours?? good lord, what, was that when you were asleeping? Geeze, ...your over due for growning up....Life goes on....people change, and nothing ever stays the same.....your best bet is to learn how to roll with it,
