[QUOTE="Sister's Keeper, post: 700859, member: 20051"] You know what? I wouldn't even go there. I would step away from absolutely anything that is not a direct safety concern. I don't mean to be harsh, but this will sound harsh, and I do apologize, but if your parents are mentally competent how they handle their financial affairs is none of your business. The only thing that I would ascertain is if there are weapons in the house to which he has access and if your father feels safe in his home. Questions about finances and how or if they are supporting your brother will just look like another attempt to criticize. Just let it go. If your father states that he feels unsafe or that he has been abused and/or threatened then I would put a call in to adult protective services in their county for a well-being check and I would offer your father a safe refuge in your home if you are willing to do so, but the financial issues are their concern and problem. If they choose to allow your brother to bankrupt them then that is their choice to make. Stay as far away, emotionally and physically from the problem as possible. It is an unhealthy environment and they will only drag you down with them. You can't fix this. [/QUOTE]
