  • First, I'm sorry if I'm being modernist and a sin (if I am, I'm happy to hear a sermon in the post comments)





    I was recently on TIA Catholics and read this comment from a user


    Hi,



    I'm 28 years old, I want to live my life, I support my mother, and she even took my nephew to live at home.



    I ended my relationship of 9 years, because I can't leave home to get married and build my family.



    What should I do?




    the website owners basically responded that he is right to abstain from the pleasures of the world to take care of his mother and nephew etc!




    Now I'm sorry but I felt sorry for him,

    1 9 years of wasted relationship

    2 he feels trapped and desperate for being in this situation

    3 From what I understand, he supports his finances and does not necessarily need medical care

    4 From what I understand, the nephew came to live against the vote





    sorry, I grew up in the interior of a city in the south of Brazil and I knew some people who were in this situation and they were extremely unhappy and resentful about the past, feeling that their life was wasted!

    I know that we have to honor our parents and that this is non-negotiable, but I really think that we shouldn't romanticize this type of situation!

    because it's horrible and not wanted by anyone!

    I wish the best for this person

    I just want to hear opinions and I really appreciate it!

    ps I would have no problem taking care of my parents if they needed it!

  • In my opinion, he should give his mother money and not necessarily live with her.

    The nephew is not his responsibility, unless he is literally starving.

    About his nine year relantionship, it is better to split before marriage than getting married with a person who won't accept the way you treat your parents and your family in general.

    I live in Southeast Brazil. It is nice to have a fellow countryman around.
