Brought to you by the Every Dollar app. Start budgeting for free today. I was calling for some

advice on how to handle a very financially abusive relationship regarding my mother and father.

Talk me through it. Okay.

The basics are my parents are still together, and I'm in my 30s.

It wouldn't be a big deal for me if it was just my mom and dad, but the problem lies

with my parents raising the next generation.

They actually raised my sister's twin daughters who are now 10, and I'm terrified that it's

going to ruin their upbringing like it kind of did mine.

Hmm.

What's going on?

What are they doing?

Um, my mother is financially reckless.

I mean, for years, I mean, she did prison time for stealing from her employer when I was 16.

Once she got out, she took out false loans in my name, my father's name, false grants through the state.

And she's just been financially reckless on credit cards in her name and my dad's name and it's just

left him in financial ruin wow she's not only reckless i mean she's like a criminal

she's a toxic human being yeah wow so what is your dad and the problem well once he finds out about certain things he does have a verbal

confrontation with her but he rolls over and and peace on himself basically and he won't stand

up to her and i think his spirit is just so beats that he won't stand up for himself at all

and i'm just left here as the the ante who's trying to make sure that her nieces don't go through the same situation that I went through as a child.

So you experienced all of these things as a child because she was doing the exact same behavior and he was doing the same behavior.

You talked about that twice.
