They're just being dumb, Sol. You know them. They're all...emotionally crippled and this is their way of showing that they care. But instead of just saying they don't understand or telling you that they'll miss you, they try to make you stay. Don't let their social ineptitude keep you from wanting to come back.
Thanks, Solvei. I really appreciate it. But I don't know what it's gonna take now. She's still my sister but she's kind of not like my sister at all so maybe that's where the disconnect is. She's not herself, and I'd been gone too long. She'll have to either figure it out or I'll have to learn to live with it.
