"Do you REALLY want to go through with this?"

Ahhh yes...the BIG QUESTION!! !! !!

A lady named Maureen asked me this at church Fellowship Hall today

Of course I am referring to my marriage goal but she kinda caught me off-guard with that question!! !

I don't know how to make the choice because I never had to sacrifice a sibling or make such a high-stakes decision before!

What do you guys think?

In what way are you required to "sacrifice a sibling" in order to fulfil your goal of being married?

Weather you want to live in a group home or not is another factor to be considered. I have no experience being in a group home but I hear they can be restrictive & not allow much privacy but they can provide structure & allow you to take on less responsibilities than independent living. I'm kinda surprised a group home would be allowing a resident to get married. I thought residents in group homes tended to be in guardianships. Me & my parents were kind of told that I would need to be in a gamesmanship in order to be placed in a group home but the program was specifically for people with developmental disabilities & lots of their residents might be less functional. My psychiatrist had me put on their list five years prior before my name came up for very limited services. There was going to be another five year waiting list before they could offer me a group home due to not enough funding. There was also an issue with not accepting my psychiatrist's autism diagnoses because she was not qualified to test for autism but they accepted her diagnoses when they put me on their first waiting list & they would not help out with any costs of me getting officially tested. Perhaps there's lots of exceptions or variations with group homes.

Maybe your brother could also move there.
