Right Now help: My parents are in major trouble.

This post left anonymously

My parents are in major trouble.

Right now they have no phone service; the power is getting ready to be shut off; and they are behind on their rent. Is it wrong that I am willing to sit back and watch them fail. The reason I am willing to watch them fail is because they asked me to look at their finances to see where they could save money and pay their bills. I told them what they need to do to make it by between my dad losing his retirement package and when he get his social security checks. They took one look at what I had done and they told me to get out and did not talk to me for a while. They started calling me when their cable got shut off. I answered once and they were begging for money, and I told them no and suggested Net Flix to get them by. About a month later they called again asking for money this time they got my girlfriend and she told them no just like I did before. She also said that I would look over their finances again. When I looked at all their bills there is no way they can make it through. The first time I looked over their finances I told them that this would happen if they did not listen. They are about to be homeless and I do not care.[

You’ve got a really big heart. It’s clear that your parents raised a grateful son. You’re a real credit to your family. Hope you’re never in a tight spot–because you would have no right to expect any help from your kids.

I’m sure you think you’re going to be just fine financially in your later years, but as the poet Robert Burns said, “The best laid plans o’ mice and men gang aft agley.”

When you ask for an opinion then get pissed about it you do not deserve help anymore.

Opinions don’t pay bills or keep the utilities from being turned off. The world is growing colder.

Your family is in trouble. The people who brought you into the world are desperate for help.

You may not be able to do everything for them, but you should do what you can. I’m sure that many sacrifices were made for you.

It’s time to give something back.

I can understand your annoyance, I’d feel incredibly frustrated if I was in your position. However, they have learnt their lesson now, it will be a nasty act not to help them.

If they are old enough to receive social security than they should contact the local counsel on aging. They can provide assistance or coordinate assistance else where. This is what the organization does.

Don’t know why anyone here is trying to give this guy any advice it’s his parents we need to get to to help….this guy has already made it clear he has no compassion for them BECAUSE THEY DID NOT LISTEN HIM Geeeeez I wonder as a son how much he listened to his parents when they were trying to give him good advice. And obviously when he did not listen they did not throw him out the door.

His attitude stinks and thankful he is not my son.

Maybe A## H^^^ here can give us his parents info so we can contact them to give them advice on what they can do during this difficult time!

Never say never, they have lived up to this point OK, something’s wrong and they have to adjust . Its about as hard as it gets. Always be ready to talk to them and help them where you can. If you can aford it help them, they are your flesh and blood. When someone is on their needs at least provide a cushion.
