I didn't chose to have a child for that child to grow up and take care of me so why should I tolerate being guilted into taking care of my parent if they make bad choices that put themselves in compromising positions.
Don't get me wrong, I appreciate everything my parents did for me but at the end of the day, I don't OWE them for anything. I don't expect for my son to "owe" me because I raised him- that was MY choice...
That may sound cold but am I the only one that feel like this??

I mean the only thing i expect is if he can't or doesn't want to take care of me and puts me in a home that he takes care of me emotionally by visiting. I dont expect anything more from him. My parents are the same. They dont expect anything other then our companie 🤷♀️
No, at least personally I agree. My mother is an addict always has been. She's gone to rehab once and after we ended up trying to help get her on her feet. Which she used to her advantage for guilt free job free living for two years. I can't do it anymore. I would be firm with them and look after yourself. In my opinion, especially if the behavior is repetative you can't help them even if you give them a get out of jail free card this time. There will always be a next and that expectation if they don't change.
@ladylis92, nope I feel the same way, my mom says I owe her and I need to take care of her because she took care of me
The only thing I expect is respect from my children as long as I'm not doing wrong by them... my step daughters are very uncomfortable accepting my as a mom even though I adopted them 6 years ago I just hope they realize the better life I've provided them before I'm gone and at least get a I love you one day 😰
