Responsibility of family members in Hindu Dharma

[Indialover]

Namaste

I have been thinking about rv2789's situation for a long time. I feel with him (supposing he is male), who took over such a burden.

I wonder, that he always writes about what he does and did for his father. He does not write about his father’s active role? Why did or does not the father take the vow? It is his life.

Is in Hindu culture the son (or the daughter) responsible for the father’s wellbeing or even for his life?

I know about a vow taken by wives for the wellbeing of the husband.

Apart from rv2789‘s post I would like to know about this custom.
