[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, is your mother open to solutions, no matter how hard they may be? For example, sell the house and move into an affordable rental, sell a car (if they have 2), get easy p/t jobs. Or does she just want to complain? If that's the case you have my sympathy. Endless help-rejecting complaining is exhausting.[/quote] +1 What is your mother expecting you to do? It's perfectly reasonable for you to tell her how difficult it is to listen if/when she is unwilling to work towards a solution. Why don't your parents get jobs (grocery store, Walmart if nothing else)? Have they worked with social services?[/quote]
