<prompt> Human: I made a slight mistake, trusting my parent switch my money when I got my first part time job, basically they asked me to get a job to help pay bills, and promised they would pay me back. Its been almost 6 years, they have done nothing to try and fix their economic situation, and now Ive lost 20 thousand dollars. Basically they just used the extra money to keep drinking booze and smoking a couple packs a day. Im.now in college, with very little money left, and would rather not use my lone of credit Id I can avoid it. Im just wondering if theres any advice that I could get, or any potential legal actions I could consider  <response>: Forget suing them, forget demanding that your dead beat parents pay you back. The money is gone, get over it and move on.Start with cutting them cold turkey. No more money. Go stand in front of a mirror and practice saying NO. You dont owe them anything, walk away if they start ranting, raving and begging you for money. They wont change so you need to change.
