Nobody likes to admit how easy it is to be taken advantage of by your loved ones. We all like to think that if our families need anything, we will be there to help them out for as long as they need us, but that's a slippery slope to having your brother, his wife, and their three kids living with you for years and eating you out of house and home. There's a big difference between being community-minded and getting taken advantage of, and a lot of people who are the former have a difficult time admitting that the latter is happening to them. It's easier than you'd think for someone to manipulate you into thinking that paying for all their expenses and housing them rent-free is the only way they'll stay off the streets. For the majority of people, this simply isn't true, and in the case of these twin sisters, the aunt is being manipulated.
