<prompt> Human: So this is my first post on Reddit and I need some advice.Sorry for the long text, but I needed to vent a little and I wanted to give backstory to make this situation clear. TLDR is at the bottom.To give some background, my parents have never been smart financially. At one point they both just gave up and didnt work. We went without power and water for years from when I was in middle school to high school.My dad mom and dad are divorced, mom remarried, dad lives in another state would send me money for bdays and Christmas.They would steal my money, and when I would ask where it was they would tell me they didnt know what I was talking about. Only after I got mad at them, my mom would come up to me and admit they took it for bills or food.My mom finally got a job and we got power back. Stepdad is trying to get disability and is not working. I got a job during high school and would help with bills and groceries. I would have to be the one who would remind them that we couldnt buy this or that because we have bills to pay. They spend so frivously and dont think about the future.Once I got with my boyfriend and we moved out, they would still ask for money and I would be paying their bills.After a while, my boyfriend sat me down and told me that the situation wasnt right and they were taking advantage of me. I have stopped paying their bills but I struggle with the guilt.I feel guilt because I love my mom and stepdad. They were always very loving and supportive in other ways, just not financially.Today was my last day at my job because the store closed. I made pretty decent money and my parents know what I made.My mom called me after I went home and asked for almost 200 to pay a bill.She could hear my frustration in my voice over the phone and she got kinda snappy and told me if I didnt have it then dont worry about it.The advice I need is; am I being selfish by not helping them when I know they are in a tough and difficult situation? Should I help them? TLDR: Today was the last day at my job. Mom called, knowing that this was my last day, and asked for almost 200 to pay a bill. Should I help them?  <response>: No. You need to worry about and care for yourself. You love them, but this has been on ongoing pattern with them, and they dont seem to learn from their mistakes. This is also a little more rrelationships, I think.
