[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My dad ended up living in his camper for a spell. It’s not actually the end of the world. I love my dad but you can’t light yourself on fire to keep someone else warm. Hugs OP. [/quote]

Don’t light yourself on fire, but take care of you parents. Good Lord. Teach your kids the circle of life. [/quote]

This is such BS advice. My grandparents took in my grandma and my dad was so disgusted with the situation he wanted nothing to do with his own mother once he moved out and had his degrees. It was a massive stress on the family that killed my grandfather because it was too much on his shoulders. The circle of life BS can turn into kids losing a happy family and losing a parent all to help out a grandparent. Everyone needs to figure out what they and their family can handle in terms of help and have healthy boundaries. People say "your kids are watching." Yes, they are and they don't want mom having a nervous breakdown dealing with grandpa's issues.[/quote]
