[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let me tell you what really happened: OP' s parents have no money left, they had to spend their remaining little cash on healthcare costs and are now living on social security.

They reframed this for their family as an epiphany after fathers illness .

Now this is all fine, but just adds to the OP's fantastical thinking about her family and not accepting the reality of the past or present[/quote]

Accept this is not true.  My parents would really have to fuck up to lose all their money.  They still live in a multimillion dollar home.[/quote]

And yet they won't put up a tree or give gifts to your THREE YEAR OLDS.  The PP who mentioned fantastical thinking is spot on. You need to wake up and reconcile yourself to the new normal. Get your kids some damn presents and travel out to visit the grandparents later.[/quote]

Pretty sure spending 100k on Christmas and then having to downsize and sell of 75% of your goods is the definition of "fucking up with money "[/quote]
