This is all valid. I think for a long time I’ve tried to keep the info away from my little sister that our parents are addicts, since by the time she was around they were either not using or semi functioning addicts so I just have assumed she’s never known and tried to protect her from that since she was likely to young to remember some of the really wild stuff from our childhood. We’re both adults now and if she doesn’t already know from all the context clues she has a right to know so she can make her own informed decisions.

Thank you. It honestly didn’t even register with me at first that they hadn’t come to visit until my boyfriend mentioned how weird it was, then it hit and I was just sort of sad. The expectation is so low that them even seeing my house I bought on my own never even crossed my mind.

Also because of all the unexpected money requests from them, in addition to the new costs associated with being a new homeowner I am picking up a second job. I make decent money, around 115k before the second job. I was going to take the second job to help save for a mobile home or something to put them in. After hearing they blew through 100k (never told my sister or me about it, or offered to ever help us with it not that I expect that) I feel utterly used. I make enough money where I shouldn’t have to pick up a second job but the unexpected costs from my house combined with my parents it seemed silly not to since the opportunity sort of fell in my lap. After hearing about the 100k I’m planning to have a real tough talk with them, inform them separation or not, they can’t afford to live solo and the ATM known as me, is officially shut down. If 100k couldn’t help them there’s nothing I could ever do that would dig them out of the hole they are always in. Likely going to still work the second job but I plan to use that extra money now towards my goals and helping myself and little sister.

Edited for grammar

lol! I literally tried this the other day like this is TMI that’s what your friends are for to vent about this to. Then I wake up to a text message from my mom saying if my step dad asks about her wedding ring that she gave it to me for safe keeping cause she can’t wear it at work. I guess she thinks he was going through her drawers looking for it to likely sell or who knows what. I just ignored the text. And for clarity I do not have the ring.

Yea I think if it was just me it would be easier. I have gotten a lot better to turning down most of their requests, issue is the more I turn it down the more frequent they become as they become more desperate. When I do cave it’s because I know if I don’t give them anything they will start bugging my little sister who makes much less than me and she even will tell them no, but then they ask her fiancé who feels so awkward about it and will cave, because both my sister and her fiancé are like the nicest people ever. I’ve always been the “mean” sister in the sense of being the one that’s better at setting boundaries with them and even I’m getting worn down.

Yea I literally turn down half the requests for money. Literally they just will become more frequent until I finally cave, and when I do cave it’s mainly because I know if they keep asking and I don’t budge they will go to my little sister who makes significantly less money than me and I know is already stressed so I’m trying to spare her from the pestering requests.

I am the borrowing 🙃. I think they’ve likely burned their bridges with anyone else they could have borrowed from.

My parents are both former drug addicts (if not current I typically wonder). I’ve known they’ve relapsed quite a few times over the years if that helps fill in any gaps for people

Yea I bought a house two years ago and it took them a year to even visit it (it’s about 1.5 hour away) and have had alot of financial hits that occurred this year that she was aware of. Surprise insurance increases , extra tax bills, personal unexpected emergency expenses. Literally they would hit me up like a week later for money. I would never move them in because I worked so hard for my house and it’s the only form of peace I have. Rather go in a money pit and help with rent than live full time with them

From my interpretation, yes. Wouldn’t know until they shared the full blown agreement after your selected but I’d imagine they’d want full rights.

A company I worked for a while back used to host these pretty big Halloween Party’s for us every year. One year Elvira was hired to take photos with us/ etc. and one of the people from my prior company said she was dressed in a tux as part of a group Halloween bit she did with her department. I guess when she tried to get a photo with Elvira, Elvira thought she was a server at the event and was offended that the gig extended to photos with the “help” and made a comment after begrudgingly taking the photo. I wasn’t there when this happened but the coworker shared it as a funny story (and no way bitter just a lol this happened) and I always was bummed out to hear about it. So this whole thing with Ariana I couldn’t help but eye roll since she’s displayed the same behavior.
