I have a very close relationship with my siblings and would absolutely help them out if I had the ability to. However, Mariah's relationship with Allison is more similar to my relationship with my mother, who I have tried to help many times over the years (including financially), but who continues to be a hot mess. While I still talk to her, I stopped listening to her pleas for help ages ago. She asks me for money all the time and although I have it to give to her, I just say no and tell her to take responsibility for herself. Maybe that looks mean to some people, but I see it as the right thing to do given my first-hand experiences with her over the years. So I can completely see how MC would not feel obligated to help her out now, especially given her history of trying to help her in the past.
