I have a family that doesn’t seem to care about me. They seem jealous and envious, but I can’t figure out why. They’re all married—both my older and younger siblings. I’m the only one who is still single, yet they envy me.
Even though I don’t have a lot of money, I’m more comfortable than any of them. They often ask me for money, and I usually send some. My elder sister is the only one who doesn’t directly ask, but she always finds some project that needs funding. When I refuse to send money, my elder brother especially gets very angry and insults me.
The problem is, I think about them all the time. I worry about their well-being. Sometimes, I’ll pick up my phone to transfer money to one of them, but then my conscience starts telling me I should focus on myself instead.
I don’t want to wait until they’re seriously ill to start helping them. I’ve already given three of them money to start businesses, but they keep coming back for more. Despite their behaviour, I still feel compelled to help. Is this normal?
