In my humble opinion no you are not wrong. I would not give my hard earned cash to them either. I can't tell my mom or dad no but anyone else in the family I typically tell them who is hiring and what they can do to go earn money.

You are very right that your parents "helping " them does the exact opposite. They have never learned to provide for themselves and stand on their own because your parents bail them out. I think you are right to stop the cycle.

You said that when you tell the parasites no then your parents come and ask for the money. Other than cutting your parents off too I have an idea that might help. When this happens don't give your parents the money BUT offer to take care of what they need. If they say they need groceries tell them to make you a list and you will go pick it up. Or if they say they need money for a bill tell them you will go pay it. That way you can make sure the money goes for your parents and not the parasites. I'm sure this will be hard for you because you will need to be able to stand firm with your parents and not give them the cash.

I just hope your parents don't give the parasites all their money then your parents expect you to take care of their needs because they are broke. You might have to stop helping your parents if that occurs. Maybe if they see that they can't rely on you if they give all their money away they will stop it out of simple self preservation. I know that would be very hard for you because you are a good person but it might be the only choice you get left with.

I'm sorry you are having to deal with this
