[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I am sorry but finding a job isn't that easy if you don't have the tools. Op should help her father. He is clearly desperate.

No she shouldn't if it prevents her from taking care of her own family. I think OP's first post said that her father chooses not to work because he doesn't like working and has been this way for some time. He is a dependent type of person who freeloads.

OP has already helped her father.  He's not holding up his end of the bargain and, as with a child, she needs to follow through on the consequences.  You can't help someone who won't help themselves.  [b]And, if you can't imagine this scenario, you have too little life experience for your opinions to be of any value. [/b] [/quote]

My, my, PP. There are no polite words to describe you. You weren't responding to me, but let me tell you that most people live through such hardships and experiences that they grow in compassion and wisdom. 
Of course elderly people can't change or help themselves. Of course some of them are freeloaders. And yet, despite all this, most people would choose to shelter or otherwise care for their own parents.

[b]I have personal experience with this. My grandmother, a self-centered, ignorant and deeply prejudiced woman, who had repeatedly told my mother that she was unwanted and unloved, and who had neglected most of her children, went bankrupt through her own fault and SUED HER CHILDREN FOR MONEY. Her children, my mother included, were declared not at fault during the trial, but still chose to pay for their mother's care until her death. Because she was their own mother and not *all* bad.

OP's story may be different. You, on the other hand, as well as anybody who responded with a casual "change the locks", should be ashamed of yourself.

So you have a family with no boundaries. Got it.[/quote]

That last comment doesn't even make sense. Is this really all you're taking away from that story? No, of course not. You're just lashing out.[/quote]

Walk a mile in her shoes before you pontificate here.  And I really wouldn't hold your family up as an example.  I would feel absolutely no obligation to support a person who abused and neglected me and never sought my forgiveness.  Even if they were my biological parent.  [/quote]
