MANILA, Philippines — Many Filipinos are blessed with families that are loving, supportive, and caring. But unfortunately, this is not always the case.

Instead, for others their families become their source of stress, anxiety, and poor mental health. For many, blood is not thicker than water. Why is this so, and what can and should be done about this?
