Your first focus should always be your family. Having said that, how would you respond if you started to suspect that your family is taking advantage of your goodwill and generosity?

The story below is an account of a frustrated daughter. The original poster (OP) moved to the US in order to advance her career. Since leaving her home country, she has been sending money to her parents as a token of appreciation for all of their support throughout the years. Though initially everything was well, things soon got out of hand when OP discovered how all of her hard-earned money was being spent.

OP wanted her parents to put the money she had given them aside for their retirement. However, instead of having her wish granted, OP discovered that her parents and brother—with whom she had not talked in years—had been wasting all of her money on luxury items. Having said that, the original poster has posted a question on Reddit asking whether or not she ought to cease giving her parents money given the careless manner in which they are spending it.
