The family hasn't been in the same room in months. Now there's a decision that affects everyone — finances, care, a move — and someone has to get them all to the table before resentment does it instead.
Your sister wants one thing. Your brother wants the opposite. Your parent is caught in the middle. The conversation that was supposed to bring the family together is splitting it down the center.
The decision is made. Not everyone is happy. Some relationships will need repair, some will need space — and you have to live in the family this decision created.
