Because we don't live in a fantasy world is the reason I advocate some love and empathy rather that the "stay clear you might be dragged down" approach. When people need help it should be given.....this is a family! Feeling guilty about something is generally a sign that you might not be doing the right thing, sometimes altruism is the right course especially with family. The OP needs to do what makes them feel right. I would advocate trying to build up the family relationship....I'm an atheist, but in matters like this I ask myself, what would Jesus do?
Some parents beat their kids, starve them and put them in cages. Child protective services are active in every state in the U.S and seem to have to have no shortage of work. So should those adult kids take their kids to see their grandparents and love and nurture them in their old ages? There is no one size fits all answer. It depends on the the family. I think it is a personal decision. Unless we've walked in freqflyers shoes we should not judge and add on guilt - just offer supportive advice.
