My father & uncle started business 50 yrs back. I have joined 30yrs back. I kept working from 9 am to 5 pm under Uncle. Now around 2011 ,Uncle son joined .Till then everything was alowed & fine except core part was not allowed to handle by Uncle.After 2011, slowly my cousin started taking operations of factory under him . When I protested ,Uncle used to say he will see ,but did nothing about that. AlthoughUncle is genius as well as my Father ,but my Confidence started tumbling after 2019. When his son (lets say A) made whole work force according to him & I was cornered .As challenge I in 2020 started some operations to complete production & it run well until 2022. But they (Factory staff) introduced as if I was buyer of those components. It kept on untill uncle showed the debt as in lacs for me while he getting all support for his production from Everyone &My father tensed but doesnot retaliate. What should I do?

Ans: Dear SK,
Well, you need to build your territory and being a family business, boundaries have never been clear...It seems obvious that your uncle favors his son over you and your father does not want to ruffle feathers by standing up for you...then you stand up for yourself.
What position that you have earned through your hard work must be acknowledged...if it isn't and it's going to lead to a family rift, then maybe it's time for you to build something for yourself by expanding the business within or outside. It is difficult to balance relationships within the family and at work; somewhere emotions come in the way of doing what is right and just. So, play it safe and start looking at how you can expand your work profile and enhance what you can bring to the business exclusively through your skill sets. This helps pass a message down the organization as to you being an expert in that particular area. If this fails, well...let yourself shine where you can and must...

All the best!

Dear Khevna Shah I am in the business of my father's after his death with my uncle for the last 15 years and so and when my father died my age was 22 and I was a simple, shy and fear boy and was happy and i am doing the accounts job and i was not taking my salary on monthly basis or yearly basis means i want to say that i take 200 or 500 or sometimes 10000 to 20000 as per my requirement and sometimes i have to give it to my mom for her personal expenses. After two and half years, i was having problems with my uncle due to professional reasons and i was talking to him at that time and discussing all the problems and business related issues facing by me and he was listening but not responding to my problems during these years and after passing of two and half years i tried my best for talks, discussion but i was not getting any response from his end and after that period i stopped myself for any talks, discussion and sharing with him and I was prepared to left him and go elsewhere and do something new or do a job or start a new business on my own as we were are living in joint family and still we are in joint. Mam i did not left him and he provided me a new business and I became the proprietor of that new business and i didnot have any idea of that new business and when i engaged in that business i came to know that this business is all runs on liabilities for around three months to six months and depends on how you capture the market with low competitive rates and that time was new and i was not having any distributorship also and the business went on losses and i have beared losses for almost lakhs and lakhs of rupees. So, I closed the shop and again started doing account job in my father's business with my uncle as all the decisions related to business was taken by my uncle and same problem which i was facing in my early stage was repeated and the days were passing as it was passing previously. Now when corona came in the world, we were all lockdown in our homes and in that time we were all of our family members lockdown in our home. In that period we were all fighting with the corona that when will corona go and when we will go outside again and when will our normal life will start we were talking about our works of home should be divided. In that period all the works were divided and when lockdown was over and we were slowly slowly coming back to normal. Our joint family divided and now we are separate but our business is not separate and i am getting the salary fixed after our separation. Now the problem is that the salary fixed is not upto the mark and i am facing financial crisis at my end and our relation are so so and i am facing heated conversation with my wife related to money problems as i have to give her the money for household activities, personal expenses, my child school fees, admission fees and other activities related to school and i am very much exhausted with all the daily dose. So, therefore what will be my steps to go forward regarding the issues with my uncle and the problems which i am facing right now and have a peaceful time.
Ans: Dear Ashish,
Time and again you have been waiting for things to change in your favour. Your first sign was when your uncle's resistance at doing or thinking anything good for you.
Good nature of yours to trust him and still keep at it, but I guess now being in your 30s, should tell you that you need to make your life yourself and on your own terms.
Don't hang around thinking that the tides will change for you; instead change things the way you want by breaking free. Now. how you want to do it; is something that you need to discuss with your wife and decide. You have been far too dependent on this dream world that your uncle is going to make things happen and will be kind to you.
Be kind to yourself and now ask yourself:
- how can I revive my financial position on my own?
- what support do I need and from whom to achieve this?
- how can I keep myself motivated every day as I change things for the better?

The time has also come to have a clear chat with the person controlling the business. It gets messy when the family is divided and the business is still joint. Money troubles are never going to have clarity ever in this type of an arrangement. So, take matter into your own hands without fearing the outcome and think of only how you can have a better and peaceful life. The answer will be crystal clear to you.

All the best!

Relationship
My age is 42 years now. I am an elder son in my family, then my sister and two younger brothers. My father was a clerk in state govt. office. Being an elder son I did all my duties at par with my father. I spent my entire 9 years’ salary on my family, it includes sister marriage, brothers education (Engineering/Polytechnic), their coaching for competitive exams, books other monthly expenses. Under my guidance they both got job. I also performed co-applicant to Education loan to one of my brother. But now my father, mother and brothers betrayed (Beyimaan). Because my younger brother’s wife was selected in state govt. job and my wife is not employed. They kicked off us from their house. All it happens like TV serial. Now my wife also get job in central government under my guidance. My family member also did same with my younger brother and kicked - off them also. Now they ask me to live with them. I am very much in stress. I want to totally detach with my family. I want to close my all relationships with them. I also don’t want my father’s property. But every now and then they call me. They never help me. We live in same city. Please help me out. I don’t want to be part of B. P. and Sugar patient. I want to be a Vinod Khanna dialogue Parva Nahi from film Dayavan.
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
Time for you to do things for yourself! It may seem selfish at the beginning but taking care of yourself and your needs is self-care above everything else...
For once put your needs before everyone else's and resist any sort of manipulation from family. Serving themselves was their agenda at your expense; why still allow it?
Firmly refuse moving in with them as it won't take them long before they kick you out when things are not in their favour. You have the ability to be by yourself and support yourself...maintaining a healthy distance in fact helps relationships grow stronger. So, time for you to be kind to yourself...

All the best!

I was earning 8 thousnad a month back then , i too had education loan for my engineering degree so i too had the burden of clearing the debt of my education loan which was of 3 lakhs rupees .. . my father had 2 option to clear the dues and debts: 1) selling his running loss making business which was in jharkhand 2) sell the share of his ancestral property. The ancestral property is a 3 story building , my father was resided in ground floor with family, his elder brother is residing in 1st floor and the younger brother of my father residing in 2nd floor... but the partition was not being done on papers , as we need to sell our share of property so the consent of the cosharers was also matters , my younger uncle agreed to give he is consent but my elder uncle didn't give his consent also threat my father " I will see how will you sell your share your property , i will make sure no body can purchase your share of property and i will never give my consent" these were his words ... My father spent majority of the expenses of elder uncle's marraige as my father started earning from the age of 17 , my father also gave him money when his income was low and supported each of his siblings but when my father business collapse no body came to help us. My father never saved money , had no savings, had no investments .. so My father sold his business and home which was in jharkahnd to clear the debts still my educational loan is there My father started very low profile job , our prestige , recognition has gone in the society and so my father wanted me to become a sarkari babu / officer I was primarily taking tuitions and giving numerous exam but i can't clear any of the officer level exam due to stress or lack of guidance Basically from childhood i was interested in singing,dancing, mimicry so i gained huge popularity in my childhood in jharkahnd , but as my mother wants me to become engineer as she knows my father never saves money and had no backup so she wanted me to become engineer... I joined a MNC as customer service associate in 2021 as my communication is good .... Due to HEART AATACK ""MY FATHER PASSED AWAY IN NOVEMBER 2022" ... MY elder Uncle took all the documents of the house and capture major chunk of the property. All the peoples of our society in kolkata respects our elder uncle , he is very polite and generous to others but He only envy with us just because his son is unemployed, had not completed his studies after 10th and aged 38 and never come out of his home. My Mother is with me she has become silent and barely talk with others and barely out from home.. i am working in a company ... My education loan has become 7 lakh rupees... My EMI is 5.5k per month i have only 2 or 3 friends and also fears to make friends i am 32 now I NEED YOUR GUIDANCE SIR i can't able to handle emotions when i see my elder uncle , He is a real MIRZAFUR. i can't live in the same building with him, i want to change the state but i have expecting that once we leave our home it will be captured by the local goons and by my uncles as our flat is in ground floor and a landmark of the society . i am not very keen to file a court case as i have less money and also it will be difficult to stay in the same building with tehem once i file a case for the Partition. I haven't mentioned all the pains and agony of us because it will not possible to explain all the things here. Majority of the times i am tensed and not interested to join any socail gatherings SIR HOW CAN I LIVE ALONE ? SIR CAN I BECOME SUCCESSFUL IN LIFE ? I HAVE LEARNED JAVA and working as Java Developer. CAN I GET A GOOD COMPANION FOR MY LIFE? CAN I BUILD MYSELF TO A LEVEL FROM WHERE MY MOTHER GET BACK THE PRESTIGE SHE LOST? PLEASE SUGGEST A WAY FORWARD RESPECTED SIR
Ans: Hi ER. Your question is too lengthy and unable to correlate multiple problems with each other. You along with family members, sit together to solve the problems wisely and get the proper solution to get it out. Or you can talk with a counselor one to one so that he can understand it clearly and will try to give the solution.

I’am 28 yrs old and an elder sister in my 4 member family. Financially we belong in upper middle class but my strict father raised us in middle class standard. After school i got my higher education from government college and around 24yr old i stopped asking money from my father. I asked only for basic minimum to cover my travel experience, that too killed me with shame and heavy burden on my chest. I worked really hard to crack SSC exam and in sep i joined my office after clearing exam by the grace of god. Now here comes my 1st salary and my younger brother demanded that i pay 799 for his phn recharge, which i declined and then later in the evening he is demanding that he is buying someone, he is in the shop so give me 200rp without any explanation of what he is buying. I don’t want to do that but now my mother is lecturing me about relations over money and that its ok, you are ought to give money to ur brother. Now m the villian only because I don’t want to pay for his expenses. M not against giving money in need but is it wrong for me to decline to become ATM for my younger brother? And what should i give him money for, it was my parents who sacrificed for me not him. What should i do when m being forced to treat him like a son by my mother rather than just a sibling?
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
You are being given the role of playing the Guardian to your younger brother...Saying NO is the right thing as he will start getting used to demanding money from you.
Alternatively, you can give him a fixed sum, whatever that is and ask him to give you a break-up of expenses. That will teach him to be accountable and you won't have to have arguments at home. But also, tell your family that it might not be possible to give him money every month as you would like to start saving for the future. But make sure that if you give him money, let him account for it or show you where he has spent it. This will encourage him to get financially independent sooner too...

All the best!
