[quote=Anonymous]OP, I think that your and your parents' actions make perfect sense within your cultural context. Your sister has taken on a different set of cultural values to an extent that your family may not have anticipated. "Independence" -- as much as possible -- is the end-all, be-all for us. I am a black ADOS woman living in Europe. My parents raised me and my sisters in the suburbs, sent us to public schools, and always primed us to be ready to work to pay for college, our weddings, and anything else we wanted. Although they struggled after the financial crisis, they have never asked us to fill in the gaps. But everybody does so gladly. I think all you can do is accept that your sister chose not to make financially supporting her parents a condition of her marriage. I'm sorry that the burden of caring for them falls to you alone, but have faith that things will get better for you one day.[/quote]
