DEAR SIBLING DRAMA: Schedule a family discussion for yourself and your two sisters. At that time, tell them you are willing to help June and, IF she gets a part-time job, you would be willing to pay PART of her rent IF Lisa will split the cost with you. Do this only if both your sisters are willing to make it a joint effort.

Abby, June is perfectly capable of getting a part-time job. She refuses to apply for anything despite my telling her I will pay her rent for only two more months. My other sister, “Lisa,” is guilting me by saying “we don’t want to see her on the street.”
