[quote=Anonymous]OP, try to ignore these weirdos fighting back-and-forth with their posts.

I mean this directly to you: do what you can and continue to let them know you love and support them. Because it sounds like they will not be getting any of this from your brother. It is interesting that he went into finance probably in part because it seems to be such a mystery concept in your family with your father’s financial choices. Your dad is not a bad guy, he didn’t do any differently that many Americans themselves do in terms of having too much credit and being burdened don’t with repayments.

You cannot change your brothers decisions or his spending habits and how he values his money.He is probably now also getting his values from his American girlfriend who doesn’t understand the cultural values. Clearly he puts higher value on how he lives his life than repaying back his own father. I would only point out to your brother that even knowing that his relationship with his parents is ending, your father probably still would’ve made the same choice all these years, just to get the kids out of poverty in in a better situation. It’s really sad that all the things he did to make a better life for his son could result in him losing the relationship.

FWIW  I am an immigrant who has never been able to afford working in the nonprofit field though it would be fun. I have always taken the highest paying job I could even if there were less than ideal aspects.[/quote]
