Oh Yes, he is jobless for more than five years now. I don't know if he is not lucky enough to find a job or just lazy to find a job. Oh boy! I am really having problem with my half-brother because he is not working at all. He graduated last 2003 before our father passed away from then he is trying to look for a job. He went to Manila (Philippines) to look for a job but hard luck because he was there for more than 4 years and he only work for maybe 5 months and he resigned for some reason. So, I decided to send him home while his mother (my beloved step-mama) is sick to taking care of our mama. Until last April of this years our dear mama passed away. Now, I always received a text message from him asking for financial support at first couple of months I was able to send some money for him and our little sister. Until one day, I realize that he is not trying to look for a job and just contented of what I send to him and of course not to mention the pension of our both parents plus the income of our little coconut plantation and the rice field that we inherit from our parents.
The other day, I was mad at him because he leave an offline message and I was pissed off of what he said. I was so mad at him and from the day one since he was in college until now I am the one who is always there for him. I tried to think of what I've said to him and Now what's next? I know he feel bad of what I say especially he never heard from me of saying anything against him. All I want is, he will realize that not all the time I am there for them. Good he is still single but what if he will get married what he going to feed his family? Sand and Mud? Hopefully, this upcoming Christmas we can talk and he can forgive me. I love him and I treated him as one of our real siblings.

This is a tough situation. If it was me I would tell him that I want to help him find a job and the best way I could do this is to not send him anymore money to help motivate him.
we filipinos are maawain. di natin mapigilan ang ating sarili di matulungan ang in need esp. if pamilya natin . maybe pagkatapos ng nangyari ma realize din ni kapatid yun na may mali siya..don't worry ur kapatid will understand naman it siguro di ba? ingat;-)
Oh Dear, I am so sorry to hear that. It must have been very difficult for you. I have that same experience for my uncle. He is jobless and only ask for money to my grandmother. It is really suck. The worst thing is he ask for money to buy a cigarette. that's really make me mad.
