EDIT: Were in the US.
If this is the wrong sub I apologize, i'm at a loss here and desperate and frankly I have depression and anxiety, the weight of this may kill me if I don't form a plan.
I'm 29, love my parents and they did the best they could but they are not the brightest, they think its normal to struggle paycheck to pay check and raised me with little schooling or collage prep and therefore I have none. Mom is 58 dad is 57
I have been with my SO for 12 years, we lived with my folks until April of this year to save up and because my parents are bad with money and cant afford their own bills. My dad works, my mom has not worked since her early twenties and has had two heart surgery's and practically cant work now.
I make 11$ an hour, my SO makes 15$, we live comfortably now, we can afford our own bills, with a bit of leisure and a bit of savings. Nothing big, not even middle class but enough to make living at least worth it. We bought a house in April and moved in, first time alone since we got together. Small house, mortgage cheaper than rent. Folks need to borrow money off of me every month, it sucks but its manageable.
Parents do not take care of their health, dad has been complaining of bad stomach issues for over a month and refuses to see a doctor. Its to the point I know have to be concerned about what to do if he dies...what programs can I make my mom apply to etc.
Because she would have no income and I cant afford the entirely of her living expenses. This house is to small to move her in with me and even if it weren't...we have been on our own under a year, it would be an immense strain my and my SOs relationship
I'm at a loss, 5 years from now we might have the finances to handle this better, but now it has the potential to cripple me for life. And I feel guilty even thinking about this, my first thought should be grieving my dad if something were to happen.
But struggling with my own issues this is breaking me, and nothings even happened yet..
EDIT: Forgot to note that she has no other surviving family capable or willing to help and I am an only child.
