Hi JoeRad,
This is a difficult decision either way.
In some ways by being someone who bails your family out all the time, you are enabling them and making them dependent on you. It's time your dad or even your mother and brother woke up to some sort of reality and responsibility. You've done everything you could so far and nothing much has changed - all of them are still not willing or able to do what is necessary. If they are indeed incapable, are there not institutions for such people? Perhaps it's time they faced what they haven't wanted to up to this point.
JoeRad, you owe it to yourself to do what's right for you now. Being on a sinking ship will help no one. At least this way you all have a chance. You can't take care of anyone until you take care of yourself first. Go for it! |
