View submission: Living with no Retirement money
I love my parents.
I'd help them to avoid homelessness, to an extent. They are both heavy drinkers and self-destructive.
But...I'd never let either of them live with me. If they pushed it, I'd go no contact.
They ruined my childhood, they don't get even a single month of the peaceful, stable adulthood I have built.

That is perfectly understandable! I'm so sorry you had to go through that kind of abuse! Some people should not be parents. Especially considering the fact they're alcoholics, who are innately self destructive.
I'm a recovering alcoholic and I can tell you that as long as they're still in their disease, they won't change, and will only take you down with them bcuz the addiction will get worse and worse. Don't give them the opportunity to do that. Protect your sanity.
