I am 20 and have had my own house since I was 18. I have not asked my parents for money since I turned 18. I haven't even spoken to my mother in 6 months (she and my father are divorced). Before Christmas 2006, my dad had a stroke and had to have surgery. He couldn't work for a while after that, and as a result lost his house. He came to stay with me in January of 2007. He has not had a job since the stroke. I am paying all his bills as well as my own and buying all his food and perscriptions. He has no income. He is 56, so it's not like he can take just any job. He had worked as a drywall installer since he was 20, and I understand he can't do that anymore. The problem is that I make less than $8 per hour at my job and things are hard money-wise. I love my dad, but I can;t do this anymore. I have 3 sisters and a brother, who all work. They are helping very little to none. I feel like that because my dad has 5 kids, I shouldn't be the only one to have to pay up. I love my dad, though.
