My father's 80 years old. My mother passed away in December of 2020 from COVID. And during that transition, I realized how horrible their finances were. They make a lot of money. They were retired. They had a lot. But my dad has since had a stroke and a heart attack. So I'm now a power of attorney. Oh, I'm sorry. Yes. Now, there are two children. There's me and my sister. I'm the oldest.
I am the beneficiary on everything. And that is because my sister is an alcoholic. She has never held a job for any reasonable length of time. Her kids and her have lived off of my parents forever. Now, everybody in this scenario is an adult. So there's going to be, when my dad passes away, there's about $350,000 that I am going to inherit.

But I have made the promise to my dad to take care of my sister, to help her. And I want to know, with respect to his wishes... What is the fair thing to do? And how do you go about taking care of somebody who is an alcoholic? Because in my opinion, I cannot just give her half.

She knows she has a problem. She's been forced to get help. I committed her one time for her alcoholism. But once you're past a certain date in treatment, you can check yourself out. And that's what she does. She has no desire to get help. And... You know, they've purchased everything for her. A house, cars. She had a brand new car that she took a loan out on and got it repossessed.

and her kids have all had cars. Everything they've ever done has been financed through my parents. Me and my house and my children, we've never received anything. We don't ask for anything. My husband and I are retired. We make a great retirement every month. Everything we have is paid for. How many children does your sister have? Well, she had three. One of them just passed away last April.

Well, the daughter, the oldest, takes care of herself, but she also has the drinks every day.

So it's not a good option to give to her children. The other one, the youngest one, he's just manipulative and has manipulated my father out of it. Thousands. And when I say thousands, since my parents, my mom died, it's close to about 182, 185,000 that they have went through with nothing to show for it. Nothing.
