Insecure (HBO at 10 Sunday) The acclaimed show centered on best
friends Issa and Molly, played by Issa Rae, left, and Yvonne Orji, returns for
a fifth and final season.
Adapted from an
online discussion.Dear Carolyn:
I’ve been sharing
an apartment
with my
stepsister,
“Jenna,” for the
past two years,
but now I’m moving away and
really looking forward to being
on my own. Jenna is nice but
spoiled and helpless, and always
looking for me to bail her out or
figure things out for her. She
attached herself to my friend
group and is devastated if we so
much as have coffee without her.
Now she’s talking about
moving to the same city as me
even though I've made it clear I
don't need a roommate and my
studio apartment will not have
room for one. Her dad has
promised to give her enough
money to live on her own and
my mom says there’s nothing I
can do about it, so I shouldn’t
say anything.
I’ve already told Jenna I’ll be
busy with my new job and won’t
have much time for her, but I’m
sure she’ll be blowing up my
phone wanting to meet up,
wanting help with some issue,
wanting wanting wanting. If Iignore her, she’ll whine to my
mom, who will message me,
point out that my stepdad paid
her portion of my college tuition,
and say I SHOULD BE NICE and
help Jenna out. Is there any way
out of this?
— Moving AwayMoving Away: Yes. Have the
relationship with Jenna that you
want, on your terms, and take
the lumps from everyone for it.
Don’t be available for and
responsive to every phone
blowup, and let her whine to
your mom, and let your mom
message you. Te ll your mom you
are grateful for the tuition and
you will also be nice to Jenna,
but you will not be nice because
her father covered your tuition
and therefore has leverage.
Hold your line wherever you
want to hold it. And do so
without obligation or guilt.
None.
Readers’ thoughts:
l You sound pretty young,
which is NOT snark. If you learn
to set and hold boundaries now,
it will stand you in good stead
for the rest of your life. Family
can be a hard place to start, but
it is so worth it. I wish I had
learned those skills when I was
young instead of middle-aged.They might try to pull you
back into old ways, because
that’s what they’re used to, but
you are actually not doing them
any favors by giving in. It would
be a kindness (though she won’t
think so) to let Jenna learn other
coping methods when she needs
help. It would be a kindness to
your mom to take her out of the
role of mediator by figuring out
a polite response to guilt trips
and repeating it over and over,
kindly and firmly, until she
figures out she’s wasting her
time.
l This is in no way mandatory,
but if you can set up a standing
date with Jenna it might help.
Maybe brunch every other
weekend, something like that.
Then when Jenna complains you
can say — that doesn’t work, but
look forward to seeing you
Saturday. It might even help her
calm down if she knows when
she’ll see you next.Write to Carolyn Hax at
