[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What specifically do they need financial help with? Is it housing, medical bills, credit cards? [/quote]

giant mortgage, expensive home health care, and a business they are trying to run but don't have the money to maintain. [/quote]
The mortgage and the business are really just black holes of money. If they can't afford to pay the mortgage without your help you literally are better off burning your money since the only alternatives are for you to pay it forever or that they will eventually lose the house. Seriously, btdt. Both times a total disaster. First time helped pay a mortgage off only to have that person take out another mortgage on the same property and lose it. Second time, the person held on to the property for an extra year but ultimately didn't give up on failing business and get a regular job and lost it to foreclosure. As someone who has been there don't do it! The relationship is already damaged once they try and pressure you for the money. Giving it to them makes it worse because seeing irresponsible people blow your money on the same mistakes, which your dad and stepmother most certainly will, is a hard pill to swallow.  [/quote]
