[quote=Anonymous]Mothers help their sons more because they will bear the brunt of his family obligations. Whether you believe that or not, it's a fact. Fair ? No. But it is what it is.
Are you obligated to help your mother ? No you are not but in a righteous loving world we all need to be obligated to the ones we love. We are our brother's keepers. When you have a spiritual awakening you understand this.
We pay my husband's brother's bills because he can't and no one in the family feels the need to look after him. So we do it. It is not his fault and I'll be damned if I see him suffer. His sister lives a block from him and pretends he doesn't exist. I do not comprehend that.
We also look after my sister and our grandson. Same reason but mostly out of love. We don't feel the need to just pile up money when family desperately needs help. So we do it out of our HUMAN obligation. My brother is well off and my other sisters are selfish and greedy. Our mother and father are long gone. My sister needs me. That's all I care about.
Without love we are nothing. With love we are human. Family is everything even when family doesn't think it is. No pats on the back, the love is always there.  [/quote]
