[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - I should explain that I am 100% sure he's going to ask. DH and I have had this conversation before his father became ill. I told him how I felt about his parents selfish behavior and he told me that he would feel obligated to help them, but that there was no reason for us to resolve things at that time. Well, the time is here now.[/quote]

OP, at what point do you think your DH will actually "feel obligated" to help?  E.g., is it the first time they ask for money?  Or when their electric is shut off?  When they are too proud to go on public aid?  Or when they are actually faced with eviction?

Financial problems do not benefit from delay.  Right now, focus on getting a counselor and/or financial planner.  You love your DH, so protect your marriage above all else.  Then, maybe try to agree on a monthly amount to set aside (not to give to them, but to save for when it is truly needed), and agree to proactively research all public assistance immediately.[/quote]
