While it's true women are capable and strong, the benefits of a 16 year old girl having a strong male influence in her life is very large. Don't fall back on platitudes about everyone being independent. Make no mistake, from what you said there is a huge hole left in your family from the passing of your father. Your instinct is right that you should step in as much as you can.

There is nothing I can say to make it easier. But you should try to see this new role as an opportunity to give back to the people that raised you. I personally get great meaning and satisfaction from serving the people i love. I wish you the best of luck.

How can I be a good role model to my sister? It is her that I worry about the most.

I mentioned in another comment that in two years she wants to go to Poland to study Operette. I told to my mother that this is on her. My sister doesn’t speak Polish even, she won’t have that financial support. I don’t know what to do. Do I continue like my father? He gave her some money(up to 100eur a month)for reading and good grades. I could do 50 easy. Do I try to have other hobbies and maybe something will peak her interest. I don’t know, I myself am hobbyless.
