My parents are broke, and it's all my fault

Post Reply New Topic

I just got back from the dentist. I need TWO gold crowns and 3 fillings. I've had bad teeth my whole life, and no matter how much I try I still get cavities. Total cost: $2500. My car keeps conking out, and my parents keep fixing it, but finally they put their foot down and said no more car fixes. I've cost them so much money over my lifetime, and they have yet to show anything for it, I don't have a great career with my own money and can pay for everything, no I'm autistic and live at home at age 35 and still have mom paying for everything. My parents are justifiably fed up, and I'm worried they might kick me out or even take me out in the desert and leave me to die (I don't think they could actively kill me, but they could do it passively). I should just kill myself right now and spare them the cost. I cost too much. I wish I had a better life and was able to earn my own money, but I can't, and they're fed up, so I'm toast.

Ok, they called me. My dad calmed down and apologized. They will cash in the life insurance policy they took out when I was a baby and they thought I might die. There's enough money in there to pay for it.

It sounds like things will work out. As a mom of children (NT & "on the spectrum"), I can honestly say that there is no greater joy than one's old child. I would rather be penniless and on the streets than to be without any of them.

I understand the feeling of desperation as well. When those feelings and impossible situations arise again, tell yourself they will pass. It won't stop you from being upset, but hopefully it will give you some perspective.

My husband and I have given up our beautiful 4 bedroom 3 bathroom house so we can move into a 2 bedroom apartment and get my son(who has Autism) the help he needs. The transition has physically and emotionally hurt me but it's worth it for my baby. I would give anything to help him. I got diagnosed because I love him and I realized I would not be able to handle it without help for my AS/HFA. I'm on medication for the 2nd time in my life so I can be functional and be there for my children.

Your parents love you and when as a parent you hear the words Autism fair or not sometimes your expectations change. I would be thrilled to have my baby live at home and even if he costs it is worth it because he's priceless and precious to me. As for the bad teeth perhaps you should use one of those mouth washes that helps with biofilms.

My father has bad teeth and decided he would just have them all removed and get false ones or implants.

Maybe ou might want to consult a financial adviser?

How are you unable to work? If you can write as coherently as you do, you can at least do menial stuff, no?

:evil:
