Aug 27, 2017 at 6:47 comment added English Student Yes indeed @TOOGAM. Thanks for sharing your family experience. It's true that Asian societies put greater emphasis on family and kinship bonds. On the other hand, individualism leaves a person with even fewer people that will unconditionally support you emotionally, so it is not good for OP or anyone to permanently alienate close family members such as an only sibling.
Aug 27, 2017 at 4:44 comment added TOOGAM It is true that this relationship is valuable. People in their 50s may benefit from talking with siblings who grew up in nearly the same family. For instance, my mom and her two near-aged older siblings have a very different perspective of their dad then her two younger siblings that were born several years later. Despite me recognizing this relationship as valuable, I've studied in college how family/group/collective plays a more significant/important social/life role in Asia than America which has attitudes that value individualism by notably higher amounts.
