Our Children Needs Freedom

  Hello, DJ Chloe.

  I just need your advice. I’m already 35 years old, single but in a relationship. For the longest time, I’ve been supporting my family especially my parents (financially–from paying the house rent, utility bills, food, meds, etc) since my other two siblings already have their own family. There are times that I felt like I want to settle down and have a family of my own. However, when I think of my parents it gives me second thoughts to do so. My current boyfriend is a French guy who is based in Tokyo and we’re planning to be together and start a new life there. Am quite hesitant because of my responsibilities with my parents. I don’t know what to do. I am an independent type of woman who doesn’t need/require support from my man (especially in finances) so I’m really torn. Appreciate your advice. Thank you in advance

  Dear Liv,

  Your parents are lucky to have you as a daughter.

  Why not talk to them and tell them about what you think. Your plans? Andito naman siguro sa Pilipinas ang ibang kapatid mo, pwede naman nilang punta-puntahan ang parents mo, ‘di ba?

  You seem financially stable, if you work abroad I’m sure makakuha ka ng trabaho dun, I’m sure you can still help your parents, presence mo lang ang mawawala.

  It’s a tough decision to make, but if you thresh this out with your parents, I’m sure they can give you a piece of their mind, malay mo gusto ka na rin nila magsettle down.

  You can always hire someone who can be with them if ‘yan ang iniisip mo. And also, get the consensus of your siblings. Anak din naman sila ng magulang mo, ‘di ba?
