[quote=Anonymous]Not my MIL but BIL, we pay all of his bills online and give him $300 a month until his social security kicks in at the end of June. Been a year or two now. It's the only way we can trust him because he LOVES giving the casino church money he can't afford to give so it has to be this way. His food and housing are covered so he won't go hungry and his house was left to him after his father passed. All needed repairs we pay for.
I order anything he needs outside of food and give him a gas card monthly. He doesn't have the mental capacity to understand why we do this but he understands why we have to.
When my mother passed away I promised my sister I would look after her until my last breath and even then my husband will see to it she has her needs taken care of. We make sure she has food and gas and new shoes/clothes. She has no extras so we provide for that. 
Whether we like it or not we are our family's keeper.
If you can relieve anyone's financial stress, do it. If not then explain why.
The absolute most depressing thing is hearing someone say nobody cares. YOU be the one that does. And keep it to yourself. No one has to know. My own siblings, FAKE Christians, never ever think about others. God knows.
Some of the advice here is really harsh and hateful. Remember one day your kids may do to you what you did to your family.
Happy Mother's Day. [/quote]
