UI mean I understand why there are laws like those in place. Many children abandon their aged parents after getting custody their property. That’s just disgusting. But I do believe that parents should not be entitled to their children’s money, just like how children shouldn’t be entitled to their parents’ wealth after becoming adults. I totally get what you mean though.UWe’re still a relatively tight-knit family. I know that sounds laughable, considering the history of abuse and fights, but it’s a really complicated situation, and there’s a lot of feelings involved. We’re also really close with our mother, who is very sweet and loving, despite not speaking up for us or herself.UOnly mother has pension from her govt job, for which she gets around 55k per month. My father worked in the private sector and received a lump sum pension at the time of his retirement, which went mostly towards building their house and the rental space (for which he gets 5k per month). Both of them occassionally took large sums from their PFs. They did spend some of it for my sister’s wedding, but my sister also contributed significantly towards these expenses.UI know… They have definitely been financially irresponsible, and has managed to have no savings despite having great jobs. I personally don’t believe that children are entitled to their parents’ wealth, but I definitely expect them to have something stored away for themselves. We know we’re being extorted, but endure this mostly for our mother’s sake.UYes, I am hoping to get a job as soon as possible, as I would definitely be subjected to the same emotional torture if I don’t. I also never want to depend on them in any way in the future. As for my sister cutting them off, that would be difficult because our mother is stuck with my father. We both put up with our father’s behaviour almost entirely because we love our mother. But she’s definitely planning to go low contact, I think…UThank you for your words. I don’t think they will take her to court, but my father is definitely going to use this law to emotionally blackmail my sister. I wanted her to have some arguments to defend herself when this happens.
The emotional stress this is causing my sister is heartbreaking. She had sent them large portions of her salary when she was employed, and my father is pissed off that he’s not getting anything anymore.UI have made it very clear to them that I am willing to support them till the end of their years. I have also expressed that I will buy the said appliances once I get a job. I also have savings from my scholarship that we can use in the interim.
All this was to prevent my father from demanding money from my sister. But he insists that he needs the money from her specifically, stating that she has not provided for the family in the last few years.
My sister has made it clear that she will financially support them through medical emergencies (They also have medical insurance), but doesn’t have the means to randomly give him money on demand.
