[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP- I don't blame you. My elderly parents (divorced) are both toxic, neglectful, and abusive in their own ways, and here's what people don't understand:

There is no doubt that if I had developed a mental illness, required a lot of care, needed a place to live as an adult, or struggled I could expect to be on my own and homeless if I depended on either one of my parents for basic assistance.

As it turns out, I am relatively financially successful with a good DH and a nice son. Now, when I hear from from my parents it's to tell me how important family is-- especially as they are older and would like access to my money and my assistance.

It's not about being the bigger person- we've worked hard so that we may provide for son and for ourselves in our own retirement so that we don't burden our child. My parents would take my son's college fund and my house if it meant they could be more comfortable. No. [/quote]
