[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Omg. We support my mom and I think it’s just the right thing to do because she is struggling and we are not. But she is literally poor,  we give her only 400 dollars a month, and our HHI is 725K.

When I read the title I thought “you should support them” but no, I changed my mind. No. They can live in a smaller place! I would put my foot down for sure, OP. [/quote]

OP’s DH is ridiculous but so are you. You could easily afford to triple that amount to get her out of poverty. Cheapo [/quote]

Oh there is no getting this woman out of poverty. She is extremely mentally ill and could never be employed and financially stable. She cannot hold down a job and spends money on crazy things as soon as she gets it.  Also, we pay her taxes on her house (which is paid off) and give her more money here and there when she asks for it (the 400 is on auto pay), and I have siblings who help out too. She will never be homeless or anything but she will also never be the type who can put away money for a rainy day. Believe me I agonized about this for a long time but there is only so much you can do for people who are mentally ill. If you have a mentally parent, you know how it is! [/quote]
