Does your family treat you like a bank?

They seem to think I am a bank or a loan service. I'm not against helping if you genuinely need it but most of the time it's not for emergencies. If I say no I'm labeled selfish or a miser. My brother is a prime example wants 2k for poker swears he will pay me back. Told him no and I got told I'm uncaring and selfish. As is I'm the one funding our mothers care home. Selfish huh.....

i think you would genuinely help a family member if you could financial if they where in a scrape . but far as your brother goes i think you are absolutely spot on . they may call you mean but lending him the money you are doing him no favours . this is encouraging him with his gambling addiction and you would never see your money again [deepblacknothingness]
