Hax: High-maintenance sis is too controlling

Dear Carolyn: My younger sister and I have become very close over the past few years as we are both in our 20s and beginning our own lives. She attends a university about an hour away from where I live. I live about 15 minutes from our parents' house and my sister comes home to visit frequently, and lives at home during her breaks. She and I have a ton of fun together, and I enjoy spending time with her.
