28-year-old mom of 2 refuses to ‘lend’ younger, financially unfit brother $4500, mother shames her for refusing to enable his ways: ’I have my own family to take care of’

Family, in most cases, should help each other. That's what family is there for, in addition to unconditional love and emotional support. Not every family can provide emotional and financial support because that's the way life's lemons tend to get squeezed (or become rotten). Either way, if you are able to support your siblings, parents, or distant relatives and they are deserving of said support, you'd want to lend them your much-needed hand, yes?

Sometimes, though, offering repeated support only enables certain individuals' negative behaviors. At some point, all family members must draw a line and analyze if their support is simply hurting their needy family member more in the long run. A certain level of repeated coddling has the opposite effect on the one you are attempting to help, and in that attempt, you become complicit in the behaviors you were trying to change in the first place. In this next story, you'll find a mother of two who is being shamed by her mother for refusing to lend her financially unfit brother $4500. Scroll to read.
