Would your family members help you out once you are in trouble

Do your family members, like your uncle, cousin, aunt, and siblings willing to extend their hands to help your out when you are in a desperate situation? I meant if you really have nowhere to go, would they consider help you out? I knew some people really isolated from his/her family, when they are in deep trouble, even they beg, their family would simply shrug their shoulders off, and walk away. That is not called family. Also, I knew some family, they have well established relationship, and no need to ask, they would offer their hands full - heartedly. What about your family members?

Yes, all the time, my family is always there for me in good or bad times. In any situation, they care for me. Like now, I am away with my family, as I am working overseas. My wife is pregnant and due this dec. My sister and mom always asked me who will take good care of them during her delivery and recovery. I just said I don't know and I still think of it. But they said, better if my mom will come to help. So they decided to send my mom here and my mom take a leave from her work. That's how they supported me, willingly and without hesitation.

Yes, definitely. There are many kind-hearted persons around my family, and I like them, they like me, too. There is a saying that blood is thicker than water. So, that's what a relative mean. We should help each other when we need some. I'm glad I have such some great family members. But, not all of them would do so. No every one is nice.

Hi, So far, I always try to settle my own problem myself, or at least with my husband's help. Only when both me and my husband are not able to handle it, then I will get my mother in law to help up,provided I knew that she is able to help me. I don't really like to depend on other people,especially for financing issue. I don't like to owe people money. What I should say is for sure my parents and my sibling will help me,if I really need their helps and they are able to do it. we have a close relationship with each other and we always keep in touch. So far, I never ask for help from my aunt,uncle and other relatives. I will always go for the closest person to help me up first.

Unfortunately I have never had family I could rely on, God Bless all who do. I have found that I have had to do it all on my own. It has made me very conscious about how I live my life and looking directly at my life they would not help even if I was out on the streets.

In desperate situations, I think family members are helpful. In case of utter urgencies, i think they are of great help. Some may think of not seeking any help from family members. But I feel that it can help in coming out of desperate situations. I say this as my uncles have helped me out in some situations.

Thankfully, I can depend on my family when I really need them. I don't have to beg for their help either. They'll offer one when I need to and be a good listener when I talk. Therefore, I also would do the same for them when they need me to. But that apply for my parents, siblings and a close aunt. The others, not so much. Perhaps because I am not that close to them. I can ask for help, but I won't expect them to offer one for me.

Families depend on each other in good times and bad ones too. I would always be willing to help out a family member in trouble. i would like to think that my family members would do the same for me too.

At first place I woul dtry to resolve the matter by my own but if it goes out of control definitely my family and friends are there to help me. I am part of a combined family where we value every member's help and respect so any situation or problem for a member is same for the rest.

Ofcourse, in every situation your family will stay with you no matter what. Eventhough you have done something wrong at times they will still be there to guide you, protect you & be a shoulder to cry on. you will hear some not so good words coming out their mouth but that doesnt mean they didnt love you it is for you to understand your mistakes they only do it to support you.

I think it all depends on how much help is required. Most of my relatives are not wealthy, therefore if much money is required, i don't think they would be able to help up much. Anyway, if we really need help with other things for exmp. moving house, cooking etc, i think they would be helpful enough :D

i don't know the foreign culture but here in India family is the best option to get yourself out of a desperate situation. other people may or may not be on your side but family is always on our side and put their damn best to help out of a situation.

When i was still in college my elder brother paid for my whole semester's tuition fee.It was an act of generosity on his and my sister in-law 's part.It goes to show my family would be willing to hep one another. Now from time to time when needed , i also extend my help to them. After all WE ARE FAMILY.. :)
