[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a bi-polar sister and it is truly awful. I feel for her, know it is not her fault, but there are times when I just hate her. What is the plan when your parents die? I would sit down with them and figure out what is going to happen. The only thing that keeps me sane is that my parents have carefully planned their finances so she can be cared for. My husband and I also have a rainy day fund just in case something happens to my parents $$. [/quote] DH earns a healthy living ($500k+). We will support him. The actual money isn't the issue. It's the emotional drain.[/quote] Then buy a small house or apartment near your parents, or build in law suite at your parents, and let him live there. They deserve some space. Pay for them to go on some vacations, without him. You still might want to try to help him get disability.[/quote] This. I'd get him away from the parents if possible.[/quote]
