Well, I'm calling about a question regarding paying for my father's phone bill.

Basically, my dad lives below the poverty line due to his own life choices.

I've helped him financially throughout the years.

And currently I am just paying his phone bill

and I want to help him.

And this has been a way that I've been able to do so.

But he has been a way that I've been able to do so but he has been making some

questionable choices and I don't want to parent him and and I just I'm not sure if this is the

right thing for me to be doing um yeah I'm happy to give more color to that.

It's, you know, family, it's kind of complicated.

Yeah, it's always, it always feels so complicated when you're in it.

And in Georgia in my seat, it's usually way less complicated.

Can I ask you a hard question?

Yes.

Are you paying his phone bill for him or for you?

For him.

I know, but are you paying the bill for him or for you?

Well, I guess I want him to be okay, so I guess for me in that regard.

Has he listened to any of the wisdom or advice you've given him over the years?

No, not really.
