I mean, I'm a grown man and thankfully I am not homeless and do reasonably well on my own.
God forbid, but if I did become homeless, I'd be a much better roommate than your family.
Half-joking here. Only half because just going by your posts, if there was more context or if we live near each other, you deserve so much better than these "relatives".
OP, you are not in the wrong. You've done great deals for your three family members already. You should not help them anymore. The more you help, the more they want to take from you, and they become lazier and lazier. You need to take good care of yourself physically, mentally and financially. Without you, they are not going to die. They will find ways to take care of themselves eventually. They should do so. You need to set boundaries and learn to say NO.
What a horrible situation to have a family like this one. I like the idea of sending a detailed list of all the costs you have incurred. You really can't shut off family, and trying to change the subject away from money when the lack of money has consumed their lives so naturally money and living arrangements will be next to impossible. But I would do my best to limit contact if that's possible.
I don't think so. He's showing her by example that she has been foolish.
This is a younger girl, who by admission has a problem with boundaries, and that commenter was trying to hit on her. I'm not fooled by the way he wrote it. He is an older man and was preying on her.
