Do you feel responsible for solving the problems of your family members?

As members of a family do you feel responsible for solving other members problems? For e.g. as a parent do you feel that you are responsible to solve your son/daughter's problems? OR as a husband do you feel responsible to solve your wife's problems? OR You just let the family member face his/her own problem and help out if he/she asks for your help? Cheers! Ram

If the problem is based on financial level then I try to solve out the problem as much as I can or any of my family member suffering from health related issue then also try to help them. But if the problem is based on personal levelor between two members of myfamily then I do not take any initiative but if somebody told me that he/she are suffering with problem then only I tried to solve.

It's good to see that you have boundaries marked very clearly as to whether it is financial or health related issue. Cheers! Ram

If they are of age..I dont try to solve them because it inhabits their emotional growth. Its part of life to learn so by me trying to "fix" everything I not letting them live in a real world. Of course it there abuse, physical or what ever yes you bet I will intervene and help...otherwise I let them spread their wings and learn.

That's great. I always feel that children learn the best when they solve their own problems. Similarly, adults usually need to find their own solutions. Cheers! Ram

Of course I am. We are part of one family, anyone problem becomes problem of the whole family. That's what family is for, to support you when you are in trouble. However, there is a certain limit where the decision should still be made by the person itself but at least all members of family give their full support.

I think the crucial point is the last statement you made, how to identify whether the decision is to be made by the person or you pitch in nevertheless. Cheers! Ram
