<prompt> Human: In two weeks time my parents will be evicted from the home I grew up in; the home that has been in my family for 3 generations.Due to their complete state of denial and fiscal mismanagement, they have no place to go. While I have a little extra space, my Fiancee and I agreed that they cannot stay with us, and they are unable to stay with my brother due to the fact his place is on the 4th floor without an elevator my mother has a blown out knee that has not been medically cared for.I am feeling terribly guilty knowing that they will come knocking to stay at my home, but feel that if I let them stay, that I will be enabling them to continue to ignore their problems. My mother even put her 2-weeks notice into her job, figuring she would not be able to work if she didnt have a home to live in...R_A, this is tearing me up inside; I love my parents and hate to see them so miserable, but I simply cannot help them since they will not even attempt to help themselves.My brother and I are hoping that after a few days of homelessness, reality will sink in and they will realize that they MUST find a place to live; but my mother is sabotaging their limited ability to even do that...Has anyone experienced anything like this? Any advice? My anxiety is terrible, I cant sleep, and I feel completely helpless...The backstory and relative information. About 4 years ago, my father was laid off from a senior management position, and for a multitude of reasons has been unable andor unwilling to find any other employment.My mother works as a full time travel agent, has numerous health problems no health insurance and makes maybe 30k a year.They have mis-managed their money to the point of absurdity; keeping a sailboat, paying membership fees to a yacht club, all while not even being able to afford the gas bill for the winter. They will buy fancy foods and other extreme non-necessities; and generally act like they still have a significant income.Finally, after 4 years of not paying a mortgage which they took out on a fully paid for house during a prior term of unemployment, they are being evicted from the property.They have no plans whatsoever, and refuse to look for housing that they can actually afford because its not in nice neighborhoods, or is too small, etc. According to my mother, my father intends on living on the boat 25ft sailboat, no real electricity or water, and she has no idea what she will do.My brother and I have helped where we have been able; securing a storage unit for their property and the family heirlooms, helping to pay bills when we could, and generally trying to avoid complete disasters. My brother even bought them a car 14k because they had been renting a vehicle daily for 18months prior car was totalled in an accident.The mis-management of income, equity, and funds is so incredibly astounding its difficult to comprehend.tl;dr - My family is fubar, and its taking a significant toll on my life.  <response>: Let me just say this about youryour fiancees decision to not let them live with you - YOU ARE DOING THE RIGHT THING! WHAT AN AWESOME MAN SHE HAS!I felt the all caps was necessary at this point in time. Im sorry your parents are undergoing financial hardship, but if it was my family, I would not want to enable their attempt to live far outside of their means by letting them live with me. It sounds like your parents need a reality check, and I know how hard it will be to turn them away when they try to abuse their relationship with you, but you are doing the best thing possible for your future marriage and your sanity.I feel for you, but just think about how proud your woman must be when she thinks about how her man supports her instead of being a mamas boy for life and an enabler. It is something to be proud of.I hope this wake-up call is effective in getting your parents to re-evaluate their lifestyle.
