Letting Go of Family was Never, and will never be, an Option
Our parents and siblings are our first true love... they are the ones who took care of us in our most vulnerable moment, the days when we could not lift a finger and depend solely on them to feed and live.

They were there for us when we had nothing, and they saw us grow from nothing to something. Grace shine on us, and we became greater than them, the bond was strong, and they feel you will take care of them the way they took good care of you.
Sadly, for one reason or the other, you started to see them as a hindrance, you believe they are the ones that are not letting you move forward in life, they keep collecting and collecting, and you had no money to invest in yourself.
For some, it is their wife who is turning them against their family. She will tell the man to stop giving them money and focus on his new family[ wife and kid], and some men foolishly follow such advice. How can someone you have known for barely 3 years turn you against those you have known for more than 30 years?
Unfortunately, this is the dilemma of many men out there, once they get married, they care less about their first family. In some cases, it is even the girlfriend that they are spending on; a man would buy an iPhone worth 600k for a girl he met within 3 months, while his mum is somewhere hungry.
Being a man is not easy, responsibilities choke, there are bills to be paid, we need to create a new family, but no matter what, we must never forget our first family
The downfall of some people is when they try making their family comfortable to the maximum at their own expense, this won't last for long and this is why some complain that their family is not letting them move forward, you do not have to be their saviour and chest all the billings neither do you have to let them go, just do your best for them and let them handle the rest on their own.

Letting go of my family is never an option for me, they were loyal to me in my vulnerable days and are not meant to be discarded the moment I become independent... It is my time to be loyal to them, but in a way that it won't affect my life, my new family, and investment.
There is a saying that 1 rich person in the midst of 4 poor people, they are all poor. This is true because the rich person has to foot the bill of the other poor, that way the rich man gets stuck in one position because he is using all his money to take care of the others, and when disaster happens and he loses his source of income, he becomes poor like them.
The best thing is to create a source of income for them, that way they won't rely on you too much that which will affect you, and if you do not have enough to create a source of income for them, pend it build yourself to a position where you will be capable of taking care of them before taking on such responsibilities.
This is one of the important aspects of memory, it makes us know those who deserve to be loved by us due to the past we shared.
Never let go of your family, no matter what, cos if things go bad for you, they will still accept you, they won't judge you by your past actions, such people deserve your love and everything.

Never let go of your family because even when things are not ok, they would still show you love. Thanks for the deep insight boss.
I agree with you. There is not way to leave my family. But what if your wife mistreated by your other family members and when you take stand for your wife you will be the slave of wife and if you don't do that your will be mommy's boy? Between the war between wife and mother you will be the loser but which side will I take depends on who is right. I won't hesitate to turn against my family also if my wife didn't do anything wrong but I will try to convince my wife is she is wrong. I just care to to choose the right side.
Letting go of family members is nearly impossible. For men turn their backs on their families because of the spouse they married is less wisdom and I pray they get more sense.
It's always important to don't let go our first family but I think if you are married you also must care well of the second family.
Family will always be there to support and stand by us, letting go of family is never an option.
Imagine being the breadwinner and have to care for all members in your family, trust me, one would go bankrupt if they believe they can always help everyone instead of teaching them how to fish, too. For our family members who keep demanding every time, we should understand that we cannot cut them off because they are family but we can only do our best as we can’t carry the whole burdens on our head.
