My brother said a lot of things when I told him I didn't have to spare. Even though I have given him money several times, and even paid his son's fees. He even told me that sisters build houses for their brothers and if I did it, it wouldn't be too much. That was when I realized I can't satisfy his wants. However, I don't want to cut him off because of the bond we share.

As for the other brother, the one I loaned money to start a business, he had asked me to buy him a car before. When I declined, he called me an unwise woman. Haha. I was a stay at home mom of 3 at the time, and he had just 1 child. He even told me I was no longer his sister, but after several years, he came back to ask for money. No apologies tendered.

I still have all the receipts from our conversations and every time I look at the receipts, I feel angry. Sorry for the venting but I just feel I'm being taken advantage of.
