Introduction
They feel that they should help their family members. They do that with pleasure, trying to make it comfortable for everyone in the family. They try to solve all the problems of the family. On one hand this is in order to really help, on the other hand they want to help because they fear that if the problems stay too long or are too overwhelming, the world will find out.
It can also be the case where they feel that they should help, but they do not have the time, energy or lust for it. They feel it is an obligation, something that “one should do”. They fear that they will be discovered by outsiders when they do not help the rest of the family and will be blamed for it.
