I’ve given a lot of time to these children. Am I selfish to leave them now?
Am I being selfish?I think you should do something for you. You might start by taking an extended trip to your hometown, perhaps staying in a rental or with a friend.
My brother and I are now in our late 40s. We are both successful, but have made very different choices.He and his wife did the opposite. They both placed their career first and neglected their child. I ended up taking care of my nephew a lot over the years to make up for it. I wouldn’t trade my life and the strong bond I have with my kids and their son over all the money he has, but how can I change the dynamic?At this point, I am considering cutting him off completely.Imagine how it would feel to be told that you are never “enough.” This is the script that your mother wrote for your brother.
