She doesn’t really qualify for that level of care yet, right?

FYI my dad’s church is taking $50,000 a year from him and feels like exploitation. I guess it’s common.

how is the church "taking" from him. i assume you mean he is "giving" it to them.

How many years has the current arrangement been going on? How many years did she/your parents support your living expenses?

Are you married/living with a partner? If so, what are the arrangements with their parents? With your father?

How much did your mother help out when the kids are younger?
