[quote=Anonymous]MD here...I'm so sorry OP that this is happening. But the poster advising you to set boundaries with your parents is correct. Mourn this loss as needed. But your brother is gone. I know that sounds harsh. I wish I had a more optimistic view of addiction. I don't see many success stories. Look into assisted living for your parents and encourage them to file bankruptcy. CC debt in your 70's is a non-starter. I also advise they no longer care for your kids. This would've ended at some point anyway but they're a liability by way of your brother. Hire an au pair (cheapest in-home childcare option), and give yourself the mental space to grieve over all this, but moving on and setting healthy boundaries is the only way to protect yourself and your children. Best of luck.[/quote]
