i have a younger sister that entered the convent and became a nun. she was sent to rome to do her job there.
after 4 years of being in rome, as a nun, she went home last december.
we have an elder sister with a not so good job but earns a lot. she already has a family but still supports our disabled parents.
we have a little quarrel on december, and our elder sister made some not too bad statements.
sister nun got angry of elder sister.
thus, sister nun decide to got out of the nunship and promised to give her full support to our parents. she will be back to school on june, as her passport to work abroad.
in your opinion, did sister nun made the right decision?
your response and comments are all welcome...

Your sister may have been a nun. But she's also an adult. She, like us all, has to make free choices and live with the consequences of those..good or not?
She's a big girl. Respect her. If she wants to be out of the convent..that's her choice and fine. We learn new things all through life. She'll be OK! Trust her judgement.
New journies are waiting for her! Nothing wrong with that!
Siblings argue.-Maybe she was using it as an excuse to leave the convent anyway? Maybe she was not happy and need to explore life a little more. eevn nuns have families and need to let their hair down once in a while!
She's going back to school! GREAT! Support her.

My personal opinion is that she made a good decision in wanting to help take care of her parents. Regardless of why she made the decision. But in truth, only she will know if the decision she made was the right one. And she will know in time. I hope everything works out for the best.

It is difficult to pass judgment when we don't know all the facts.
From what you say I think your sister nun has done the right thing.
There are many ways to serve God and locking away in a nunnery is one of them.
But looking after aged parents is another and in many ways more practical.
I hope it all works out for the best for you all.
