[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There has to be more to this? I understand this is your perspective and that there is surely truth in it, but there must be more to this. Can you tell us the story from your parents’ perspective? Or maybe your sister’s if you can do it constructively? I just want to understand what is actually happening. It just seems so absurd that I know there must be more to the story. [/quote]

Why?  I have witnessed lots of families that head high expectations for the older kids and enabled the youngest.

OP make it clear to your dad that you will not support your sister and that the best thing he can do is help her find a job and help her to live on her own.  At 35 she can still learn.  It will be rough, but it is possible.  [/quote]

In our case, I"m the youngest and the older sister is the one who never finished college, hasn't worked in 30+ years b/c she decided to be completely dependent upon deadbeat husband (despite warnings and help to separate from him). Yet, I'm supposed to clean this mess up? No way. [/quote]
