My sister's ex

So about a year and a half ago my younger sister "Allie" was in her first relationship with a guy named "Sam" who was one of my close friends. Sam is one year younger than me and one year older than Allie. They dated for a little less than two months and then Sam decided to end it. Allie has issues with depression and managing her emotions, and threatened to kill herself over this. During this time, Sam and I became closer friends, eventually developing into "talk-on-the-phone-for-hours-every-night" best friends. I also suffer from some depression, and I am not sure if I would have made it through last winter without him. Over the past couple of weeks now we have been romantically involved with each other. Allie knows that Sam and I are close friends, but she has no idea how close. My family is moving out of state later this month, but I am staying in my home state to finish my senior year. Is this "normal"? Am I a bad big sister?

    it's not you did this intentionally or purposely tried to break up sam and your sister. it seems like things just happened this way; that you and sam just eventually grew close. i just think you and sam need to be honest with your sister and tell her what's going on. no matter how hard it will be for her or how much it will hurt. if she finds out from someone else or, for example, finds out months later that you and sam have been in a relationship for awhile, it'll hurt a lot worse than if you just disclose this to her now.
