No one can destroy your life more than a toxic family member.

My dad has six adult children and two adult grandchildren, but none of us are willing to take him into our homes permanently. [/quote]

Asian cultures, which cherish their elders, put us to shame. The modern U.S. is such a selfish society. [/quote]

Asian cultures also have parents and grandparents who cherish their children and prioritize their children’s educations and see to their success. Grandparents helping their grown children raise their children.

What is selfish is being a horrible parent to your children and then expecting them to take care of you in old age.[/quote]

I am 100% behind you OP. I don't know why people put these cultures on a pedestal. Those wives who have to care for children, assh*le inlaws, the lazy uncle, etc. aren't happy. They're forced to do so because of their society's expectations. Even in western cultures not long ago, it was expected for one of the daughters to give up her life to care for their parents. And no one changed the rules because they needed to be likewise supported when they were old.

The modern world is so different, it's ridiculous to apply such old fashioned traditions to the current state of things.[/quote]
