It is when it messes up my credit and keeps me from getting myself together as an adult while she simultaneously complains about taking care of grown people...yet I can't care for myself because I'm putting everything into her It's a catch 22.

I didn't have children so they could be a source of income for me. It is not a child's responsibility to ruin their lives to take care of people who won't take care of themselves, especially if one parent is a deadbeat. I have seen first hand the damage this does. Never said you need to be a bank for them but never will I write my parents off if they need help they never wrote me off and I was quite the hand full. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is what this thread is about. I was telling the Figure of eighty my opinion based on my experience. You are welcome to your opinion as well. Everything does not need to be an argument. No argument but if he needs me I'm there needs money I'm there needs anything I'm there I am not his bank but he is 90 so whatever it takes. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Righteous Life ! Yes, in line with all Scripture . Families have been breaking up , and are being broken on purpose, by the government, medicaos, financials, religiousicos, schools, churches, and all society ........ it is time for anyone who seeks Yahweh to resist the devil, and the devil will flee ! Jesus says clearly to the disciples in the NT, and to us - "I (Jesus) KNOW you don't know how to live - come to ME , and I will teach and show you how to live; " and "I am meek and lowly" .... gentle, perfect wisdom, perfect knowledge, to nurture and comfort the suffering souls.... Jesus says "I came to seek and to save what was lost...." (whoever will/ is willing) ..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thoughts would be; Knowing that you are not your brother’s meal ticket. But you are there to help him to do right. If he refuses to do right you allow him to reap the consequences of his actions. So He might learn for himself and cry out to God. For life consists not in the amount of things you possess but in the amount of Christ you possess Blessings, Much love in Christ, Not me 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, he is almost 50, still living with my mother, and is totally controlled by her. He has no life other than meeting her needs. God Will reward ur brother in this ungrateful world, if u don't help parents how could u love others. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
