Its so tiring already, i felt so stress so annoyed burst of confusion and everything. Im such a very kind daughter sister to my family but now i feel feed up already. I had reached my old age 37, haven't got stable job,no savings, still single for i had devoted so much my life to my family...by the time my parents went to the states im fully in charge of my younger brother.He had a mild epileptic seizure, since we are only three in the family and the only gal, my older brother had his own family already. they transfer to their new home, my younger brother and i was left living in our old house.Now that mom and dad are already old, and living in usa,im the one taking care of my younger brother.Though his way o living is normal he thinks well,act well but the only problem is his attack of seizures from time to time.Now im old and getting older as day past by i feel so sad i had realized many thing, i wish i could turn back the time , wish i had done more time for my self.If i just have done it maybe by this time i had built my own family already, or had made a good job.i feel bad especially if there were times we had arguments, my brother the younger one, sometimes with the older one which is i think almost common to siblings. But what can i do, there's no one else will take good care of my younger brother its just me... sometimes i felt like im acting as his mom already, my role is almost like a mother to him.taking good care of him.i feel bad whenever i heard a relative of mine telling me i had no heart to my younger brother if i will leave him cos i want to have a job in abrod/other country. i feel judged.its so unfair...there wer times im crying, im so afraid to be alone... i know in time my younger brother will get married someday, my worry is what will happen to me if that will happen. Will i be alone my whole life? no savings when i grew old?no family to lean on when i got old... is life fair enough for me that i devoted so much time to my family?hope i may hear a responce based on my story...thnks my dear friends..

You are such a good sister. You made a great sacrifice for your younger brother that you don't save something for yourself. You should be awarded so good because of what you did. Maybe your parents can hire a nurse or nanny for your brother then you have time for yourself. It's not too late, you can find a job and hopefully get married soon. Just take care of yourself always :)
