Answer: Enabling

Explanation: Lisa's behaviour is known as enabling, which is actually the behaviour when someone like Lisa finds herself in a situation of being in a relationship with someone as addicted as Kim. This relationship can be different, among other things friendly, as in this case, and then the enablers experience many suffering instead of the addict, i.e. the enablers suffering is a consequence of the addict's behaviour. Lisa as enabler tries to protect Kim who is an addict and does her homework and many other things so that Kim does not feel the consequences of her own addictive behaviour on herself.
