Are the close relatives our saviours or it is Him, as always?

Mother:
Swamy PL clearly highlights Kaikeyi in the case scenario where even a mother
cannot protect her son. Kaikeyi was the one who commanded Rama through
Dasaratha to go on exile. She also requested Dasaratha to make Bharata the king
of Ayodhya. Bharatan's vaibhavam in Ramayanam is even more than that of
Lakshmanan and Raman in some instances. Rama was the most dearest son of
Dasaratha. He always used to concern about his father's happiness. On the
otherhand, Dasaratha always used to concern about Rama and his happiness.
Azhwars also were in the same state with Perumal. They used ot joyously sing on
Perumal with parivu, and infact pongum parivu (PeriyAzhwar) whereas Perumal
used to worry more about Azhwars' happiness.
Rama though was an AgyAkAri putram, still was not able to satisfy Dasarathan as
he did not bother about himself. In this aspect Dasaratha used to be proud of
Lakshmana as Lakhmana used to completely take care of Rama. Lakshmana showed
complete ShEshatvam to Rama. Bharata's vaibhavam is much more than this one.
He showed complete pAratantra jnAnam. He behaved like an object without life in
front of Rama. He was ready to do whatever Rama commanded. At one point of time
in Ramayana, he said that "rAjyamum, naanum Ramanukku sondham". He combined
both the life-less object and himself in the above statement.
Kaikeyi was supposed to have facilitated ishta prApti and anishta nivrutti for
her son. Instead she acted the other way. Ishta prApti refers to the means to
nitya kaimkaryam where as anishta nivrutti refers to eliminating the obstacles
in the way of attaining nitya kaimkaryam. Considering the vaibhavam of Bharata,
even the son of that calibre was not protected by his mother.
"PeRRa thAyinum Ayina seiyyum..." 1-1-9 of Periya ThriuMozhi
Father:
The story of Prahalada is well known to everyone. He was tortured by all means
to recite Hiranya's name instead of Narayana mantram. Again, a son of the
calibre of Prahalada who showed complete bhakti on Perumal was not protected by
his father.

When pandavas went for the game of dice with kauravas, they lost everything.
During that time, Dharmaputra did not wan to accept the defeat. He wrongly
perceived Draupadi as his property and gambled with her. Eventually they lost
the game and Draupadi was ill-treated by kauravas before she was protected by
Krishna when she surrendered to Him.
Nalan was a great king. Due to some reason he had lost a war with the king of
another desam, and had to leave the entire kingdom to him. One night, he and
his wife were staying in a chowtry. Naln was very much disturbed and was not
able to sleep properly. He thought that he will no longer be able to protect
his life, and hence left her alone. Later he became a charioteer for a king.
His made his wife to leave in dire circumstances. He showed her the path to her
parents' house, thus leaving her is distress -neRi kATTi nEkkudhiyOA! Periya
ThriuvandhAdhi -6;
PL has clearly highlighted examples of how all the close relations fail to
protect a soul. Infact in all the cases, only Perumal has protected these souls
finally. Let us look into the aspect of how other devatas also fail to protect
a soul in the following postings.
aDiyEn,
ramanan
