I(20m) have a younger sister(6f) and she always hangs out with me whenever I’m home.
Yesterday I was playing video games and she walks into my room crying. I ask her what’s wrong and she said that our parents just told her that they regret having her.
I confront my parents about it and they said that they find her extremely annoying and that if they knew that she would be like this they have aborted her.
The part that pisses me off the most is that the reason they think she is annoying is that she is mentally slow and often doesn’t understand certain things.
We got into an argument and afterwards my sister wouldn’t leave my side. I am moving out within 2 months but I don’t know how my sister will handle not having me around to comfort her.
I’ve been extremely worried about leaving her due to the way she gets treated, what should I do

Something’s wrong with your parents to say that to a six year old. Do you have some close relatives to talk to?
If you move out can you reside nearby? Your parents may be willing to let your sister visit often or spend the weekend.
Children can grow up fine even if there’s just one person who cares about them and makes them feel loved.
