[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They suck. And [b]anyone who tries to guilt-trip you should get an earful about how your parents treated you.[/b] They made bad choices and didn’t create a relationship with you that would now entitle them to make emotional and financial demands. You need to focus on yourself, your spouse if you have one, and your child. [/quote]

Be neutral and stick to facts, otherwise[b] it makes you look vindictive.[/b] I have a mother who when upset likes to criticize me to all and sundry, so I know the art of seeming to be above the fray while simultaneously fact-checking.

OP is being vindictive. [/quote]
Is the OP pissed about being treated differently from the younger siblings 20 years ago.  Yes.    rightfully so.

Is the OP pissed that her current parents have nothing and have wasted their money over the last 20 years  Yes.  Rightfully so

Is the op Pissed that they have become the  "family bank"  yes, but that is the OP's own fault.

Nothing vindictive going on.  OP just doesn't want to support the parents.  Now if the OP stopped giving to others  they might have some disposable income to give to mom and dad,  but  I would not recommend it...  Especially if you are worried about the money being wasted on non essential items
