RE: Impact On Others .:. Why it's easier to help a stranger than to your family?

It's always tricky to help people around us, especially the very close ones. I think that there are so many emotions between family members that makes it quite difficult to accept counsels from each other. It can be quite frustrating. I learned this lesson many times over, especially with my mom and my brother. We want to help each other but it's very difficult to accept this help. I think it's much easier to get the same input from somebody that you don't have an emotional link with.
