Father refuses to offer financial support or inheritance to his illegitimate love child, his brother steps in to ensure the child is cared for: 'I have been personally sending money; I'll never let him hear the end of it'

There's a certain gravitas, a responsibility to the way we conduct ourselves in our lives and to our families. Actions, even small momentary ones, can have rippling effects that echo through not just the life of the child but of the generations to come. It's far easier to make a mistake, to be callous or careless, than it is to get it right. Doing the right thing takes concentration and focus, effort against first impulse.

Some people aren't in tune with this and will do the easy thing every time, the selfish, self-serving part of themselves winning over every time, even when it comes to their own children. Even something as simple as a dismissive hand wave when your child is excited to show you something they've been working on can shape the course of their future, whereas taking the time to foster their curiosity can change the course of their entire life. 

And it only exponentially increases from there with more extreme selfish and callous actions—or lack thereof—taking an enormous toll on the lives of our children. At least, for the child, it is a blessing when there are this in their lives who are willing to step in and look after their wellbeing. This man felt it was his responsibility to step in and ensure that his brother's love child was cared for against the wishes of his brother and his family.
