Family Pressure!

On top of my infertility struggle, I am going through lots of family pressure at the moment and they are killing me. It's nothing from DH, it's from my mom. I financially support my mom, dad and my elder brother who is 36 and does nothing, every month i pay their rent, food, and everything what not. It's been 10 years am supporting them because they don't have any other source, my dad doesn't work now, my brother does nothing, i cant see my mom dad sleeping without food, and i am really so tired of supporting them, and just expressed a little frustration and my mom got so furious at me started yelling screaming and she hates me when i talk about the support part, she thinkgs its my bare minimum responsbility, i am paying my RE bills, and on top of that i cant support. but i guess i dont have a choice till my last day.

Please be strong. It is just a phase that would soon pass. Some go through worse cases. You also need to relax more please. *big hug*

Wow trying to conceive and going through this struggle is hard enough without having the backbone and support of your family, who you should be leaning on and not the other way around.  It sounds very selfish to me I'm sorry to say, but it does.  You sound like an amazingly generous woman, and they are taking advantage.  There are all kinds of support out there for those who really need it.  You have done more than enough!!!  Big hug.

Well not trying to sound harsh but they don't need to rely on you for money and for 10 years???? No way in heck!  Is something physically wrong with them where they can't work? If so they can apply for disability.  Maybe you need to just cut them off.  They may actually have to support themselves.  And to be ungrateful at that?  That is not the kind of stress you need.  Sorry you are dealing with this but I say cut them off.
