Lets you keep what? You say you value your ability to provide for yourself and your financial security. If you keep working and don't blow money foolishly, loving someone doesn't effect that.
Lets you keep control. These attachments tend to make one foolish. Like my sister-in-law who spent $160 on a vet visit for her dog yesterday when the animal clearly needs to be put down for its own well being. But ibstead she spent more than half of her state cash assistance check on medication for an animal that's already 90% dead.
Perhaps it is worth it to her to have a little more time with something she loves and that loves her.
That said, it should have been a decision that she and her brother made jointly.
