<prompt> Human: Hi All,In need of advice on how to tackle my parents mortgage. My parents werent the most financially savvy individuals on the planet and never paid off their mortgage. Over the lifespan of them owning the house, they took equity out to help loan money to extended family and well you can guess the result of that I dont think David Copperfield could do a better vanishing trick. I foolishly took on the responsibilities to try and be a good son by helping them refinance to a lower rate and helping them pay the mortgage off while also helping them with their bills. However, after tackling this for several years now Im starting to feel the pressureanxieties of dealing with this massive debt. The monthly mortgage is about 3K. I do bi-weekly payments and add additional funds when I can to help accelerate the payments of the mortgage while helping them take care of their bills. Im not sure what else I can really do or if Ive exhausted all my potential options to accelerate paying off this massive debt. Its a bit depressing seeing my friendscolleagues all moving forward with their lives not being hindered by the burden of taking on their familys debts. Sorry if this post comes off a bit bitchy and depressing, but bearing the burden these debts is really starting to get to me.Thanks in advance for your advice!  <response>: I really hope you mean that you helped them with paperwork and you literally did not assume their debt.
