While dropping the bombshell that she is moving out while you were trying to finish up your project on a deadline isn't the best timing - I'm a bit surprised you seem so upset about this.

For years you have complained that your sister has left you to shoulder the full responsibility of caring for your brother and mother. You have also complained that your mom and brother give you no personal space and caring for their illogical requests are almost a full time job. You have gone as far as starting to converting a shed to an office to get some peace and quiet. (Which if your postings are reliable every time you try to work on that shed project your family some how messes it up)

Now your "deadbeat" sister has agreed to take these burdens off your shoulders - at a critical time when you need to be free of them. You need time and focus to study for your master's program - it only gets harder from here. You need privacy to work on growing the relationship with your fiancee.

No doubt this is a shock and it will take time to adjust but it isn't like you can't visit your mother and brother. However, those visits will be on your schedule instead of them demanding your time when you have other things you need to do. Like finishing a research project for grad school - so you can finish grade school - and get a job that can support you and your future wife.
