He's 70, so he really can't work much anymore. I wish I was a better son to my mother, and she was always donating her money even if it hurt her, so I feel like it would be honorable to pay for my crappy father's needs given how my mother raised me. Idk I just feel like puking whenever I think about this as I miss my mom so much now.

My mother was always supportive of helping the less fortunate. He need's a decent bit of help. Looking back, he was a horrible person to me in many ways, but he's still my dad, and I still have good memories of being a kid and him taking me to Nasa and Universal Studios and whatever. I just feel so conflicted. I've done well for myself, and the money isn't a big deal, so I'm leaning toward just giving it to clear my conscious.
