Dear Amy: My aunt has fallen on hard financial times and has begun leaning on me. Although she has a daughter, two stepsons, a nephew, and the biological father of the granddaughter she is raising, I’m the only one willing to help. Others are quite able but unwilling due to choosing not to work, refusing to pay child support, or falling out over the years.
