Of course I really love my family. I love them more than I love myself. I am willing to do anything to them. I will make sacrifices for their happiness.

...Certainly, we tend to give everything for the sake of our family, provide their needs and even giving up our own happiness.

I am 34 years old and I'm still single. I'm the eldest child in our family. My father has abandoned us. I support my whole family. I have an Internet-based job and I work at home. I seldom go out of the house because I have to work. I sometimes feel so lonely that I cry and I really would like to get into a relationship with a man. I'd like to get married, but I've always put my obligations to my family first. My sister just graduated from college and is just starting to make a living. My brother is still a college student. My mother cannot work anymore and she needs medicines because she's hypertensive and diabetic. So when it comes to finances, everything pretty much rests on my shoulders. There are a lot of things I'd like to buy for myself, but most of my earnings go to our household expenses and my mother's medicines. I haven't bought any clothes from any department store; I always buy my clothes from the thrift shop (It's known as "ukay-ukay" in our country). Sometimes, I do complain, but I cannot bear the thought of abandoning my family or seeing them suffer because I stopped helping them. I guess that pretty much says how much I love my family.

...Wow! that's great... I really admired such person...I think your family are so proud of you for everything that you have done for them. It's not an easy to stay single at the age of 34 for a woman like you, right? and there is no amount of money that can measure your sacrifices for them...

I love my family a lot, so much that I sacrifice my own freedom for them.
