[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those of you whose parents don't need your financial help, you gave been given such a gift! This will probably take therapy, and I'll welcome recommendations for providers, but in the meantime, does anyone have tips for how to set aside anger at parents for not managing their money well?

Long story short, my parents ignored warnings and made choices that cost them their house and left them with virtually no savings. They are nearing a point health wise where they need to move out of their rent controlled apartment into an assisted living facility. Now I am stuck jeopardizing my own family's finances to pay for them, contemplating a second job so I don't have to go into debt.

I don't want to feel resentful. They were good parents in other arenas. I know many many people are in worse situations. Still it just feels so unfair to have this stress. We're having a meeting l with a financial advisor I hired to help sort out their options, and I'm having trouble not getting riled up just planning for it, sorting through bank statements of nearly empty accounts. How can I be kind to my parents at this time when I feel like they've left a mess? [/quote]

No answers but hugs. I hope you find acceptable solutions and may your income increases unexpectedly.[/quote]
