Serious advice needed.
I'm in need of some serious advice as I'm in a sticky situation....I'm a 18(M) about to graduate high school in the next few months and plan on moving to Toronto with my mother and brother(15M). I currently live with my grandmother and cousin (7yr male), he has a lot of behavioral issues and a hard time expressing his feelings. When he was born we found out my aunt was diagnosed with lung cancer which progressively got worse until she passed away, now that very deeply affected my baby cousin because the father wasn't in the picture(don't even know who he is) as my aunt never told us so that gave me the burden on being his only masculine figure in the family...
Tonight he came into my bedroom with tears in his eye's and before I said anything he started talking about how he misses his momma and won't see her again, this obviously made me very sad but I comforted him then took him back to his room so he can rest while promising we can do something fun in the morning. I feel stuck because I know moving to Toronto will be an awesome opportunity for the start of my adult life but I can't shake the feeling that I'm abandoning him and I don't think he will understand why I'm leaving which is making it hard for me to make a good decision. He is also a very emotional child (crying a lot) which only got better because I started to guide him and show him other ways to discharge emotional stress...but I'm afraid with my families guidance he will have a very rough time ahead of him.
I love my family but I can't say they're the best at parenting and it took my coming across the Red Pill community at 16 to really turn things around in my life and unfuck myself, it also doesn't help that my immediate family I'm referring to consist of all females so you can already imagine the dynamic that is going on here.
