Dysfunctional Families... Gotta Love 'em!

The relationship between my sister and my mom have completely broken down. I was shocked to find my sister at my door as I went to check my mail today. Of course, I couldn't tell her to go back home since she said she'd rather sleep on the streets than go back home, so now, my sister is living with me... again. I don't know what to do. They really need counseling or something! My roommate, Victor, will be back from Madrid next week and so, my sister can't sleep on the living room futon forever. They both need family counseling... maybe I'll just pay for them to get counseling because I really can't let my sister live with me indefinitely since I DO have a roommate and I can't afford to rent another apartment just for her... at least, not in New York! Rent is much too expensive and in more dangerous areas, well, it's too dangerous! Meanwhile, she's dropped out of school and I don't know what to do!!! Help!!!

In lighter news, my sister calls me an old man for doing crossword puzzles. I usually do 1 crossword a day when I'm not reviewing language flashcards. Then I remember I saw a Hungarian crossword puzzle in the shape of the country, Hungary! If anyone knows Hungarian, feel free to try this one out!
Today's Random Quiz:

Your Family Is 81% Dysfunctional

Your family is more than a little nuts. And you definitely should think about moving on.
This doesn't mean you need to completely cut your family out of your life...
But it does mean you need to create a healthy support system of your own. One that doesn't involve your family.
Even if you've already made a clean break from your past, it still may be haunting you. Checking in with a therapist from time to time is probably a good idea.
