For context I'm 28 and have been living on my own since I was 18. My mom and my step dad are both financially illiterate and do not work but are disabled so they get money through the VA and through the government.
I've lost track of the amount of times I've helped them with money and never got anything back. Back in 2018 I helped co-sign a car for them (never ever ever do this) and within 4.5 years they managed to only pay an average of $35 a month on it. Meanwhile during that time spending money on dolls, stuff for their cat, and other junk they don't need.
Now they're apparently on their 4th eviction notice and need $600 to help pay for it and are asking everyone for help and trying to guilt me into helping saying that I have no compassion and that im going to let my disabled mother live on the streets.
Am I the asshole for refusing to pay and let them suffer the consequences?
