<prompt> Human: As the above title suggests, my family runs a small business and things are not going well. My mom runs this business independently but relies on my credit for certain things in order to qualify for lease agreements for space, loans, etc.This has been going on for a number of years and Ive been trying to distance myself from it so I can establish my own financial independence because right now as things are my Mom just takes money whenever things are tight and Im supposed to just accept it because Im her son.We live together and have for awhile. Im 26 years old and Im trying to establish plans to move out and start a new future with my girlfriend.That brings us to our current situation. My mom has failed to make rent this month for the business showroom and has outstanding debt to vendors for products shell be unable to sell without paying off her balance. As a result Ive had to take a cash advance to pay the rent for the show room for her. Now, she wants me to take out a personal loan or co-sign one for her to take out a loan for 15k that she insists will only help the business grow.I just dont feel right taking on 15k in debt or cosigning for a loan of that amount when Im already financially at my limit dealing with situations like this one that continue happening. Shes already maxed out one of my credit cards and has failed to make payments on it in the past and I dont see how stacking even more monthly bills is going to help.What do you guys think I should do? I mean I understand businesses run off credit and stuff but this business has been scraping by and I just dont see that suddenly changing. Maybe I shouldnt doubt my Mom, but this whole situation is extremely stressful. Any suggestions you guys have would be appreciated.Thanks in advance.  <response>: If theyve been scraping by for a number of years like this, then the business has already failed.Just say no.
