Hi,
I have a 13yr old sister who has Down Syndrome.
Im the oldest at 23 then Gemma 13, and the twins Kacey and Arron who are 7.
My step father was never really in the picture and he left over 3 years ago, since he was never a fatherly role my mum and me brought the kids up.
Now Gemma enters high school next year and Im really scared, she is going to the same high school I went to but in the disabled class.
Puberty has already happened and now the boy crushes have come, although I am happy for her and think its all good (meaning its a 'normal' thing to happen) it really worries me. Its an all girls school she is going to but that never stopped me and I know it wont stop her from meeting the boys!
I dont know how to cope..... I dont live at home anymore and I feel sorry for my mum, who is on her own, but she seems to be coping!!
Why cant I? I talked to mum about it and she just laughs it off saying "you will let her go at some stage" I dont want to let her go, but I want her to enjoy life.

How do i cope?
