Me too, and yes you can.* I used to think there wasn't an
  algorithm for dealing with family but there is.* I'll write it
  in my own pseudo-code, and I'll use the forbidden GOTO. IF
  FAMILY = UNDER YOUR SOLE RESPONSIBILITY, GOTO END: ELSE IF
  FAMILY = SIBLING AND/OR COUSIN AND/OR PARENT AND/OR AUNT-UNCLE
  AND/OR GRANDPARENT AND/OR OTHER HUMANS OF SUCH GENERATIONS THEN
  SAY WHATEVER YOU CAN TO GET BREATHING ROOM FROM THEIR EMOTIONAL
  MANIPULATION WITHOUT STRAYING TOO FAR FROM THE TRUTH, BUT ENOUGH
  FOR PARTIAL EFFECTIVENESS IN MANAGING YOUR EMOTIONAL STATE.
  Think "You're not the boss of me!" Say "Yes, I'm making great
  progress!" Show Them A Something (Variable Undefined) END: Print
  "If they are your sole responsibility, they're your kids or
  otherwise your responsibility.* (Multi)(Uni)verse = Honesty.
  However, you are not responsible to hold up to the full
  expectations of anyone not in the category of
  fully-dependent-on-you, unless you choose to." END
