Woman offers her younger brother and his family to move into her home while they're reeling from a rough financial situation, but now they're apprehensive about leaving: ‘I have a son who deserves space to grow’

When the people we love are in a rough spot, we typically always do our best to ensure that we can do anything in our power to help them. Though lending a helping hand might not always be the most convenient thing to do or the most beneficial, that's not what family is about; Family means picking your loved ones up when they're down.

But what if they stay down? Like, for more than a few years? Are you still beholden to them until they find their footing? Is that your job? I say no.

If you don't know when to say enough is enough, you might end up like the woman in this story, who is trying to get her brother and his family out of her home after a couple of years of sharing a roof with them. They've single-handedly taken over the household, and she believes she's given them more than enough time to figure out their next move. Even still, telling your family that they need to get gone isn't easy, and it seems like the family is pulling guilt-tripping tactics to feel out if she's serious or not.
