Sister emotionally blackmailed away mums pension

On top of how this must be affecting your parents' retirement in terms of what money they have to enjoy retirement, this could also have long term repercussions regarding the sad but inevitable situation of your parents dying at some point and what is left in their wills.
 
oh damn, forgot one important point!!!!!

My mum and dad have got a lodger living with them. He's polish, he's actually a decent bloke. Works on video games doing the english to polish translations.
I guess that was to bring in extra money.
What I read from your OP was your mum and dad have used the last of their pension, bailing out your sister.

Unless you want them to get in to debt you need to put a stop to this NOW.
 
And this folks highlights the statement I've made on here before about how some perfectly functional adults seem to become utterly moronic when it comes to their children. OP your sister is a disgusting piece of crap for taking advantage of your parents like she is. Your parents, more specifically your mum it seems, is an idiot for letting her. However as long as they enable her she's going to continue to take the mick. Simple as.
 
What a mess......your poor parents.

Their love for their child has been abused.

Unfortunately if you come clean with it (and you have to) I can half expect your sister claiming that she should not be stressed out while she is pregnant.

"If anything happens to the baby.....you will be to blame" type scenario.
 
Mum and dad first, word with them and then confront your sister about this.

Expect massive anger from her, blaming you and your mum and dad, no acceptance she is to blame....then tears and threats to take her own life. There could also be an incident where she 'has a go' but won't be very good at it...oddly.

Never had this, seen it many times with other family members and friends. She is, purely based on your post here unable to cope and potentially mentally unstable. What she might also be and I suspect more likely to be is sub human scum/psychopath with little or no sense of responsibility. She will never own her problems, they are always someone else's. This tends not to be the way stressed or depressed people act, it is how scummy people act.

My advice is simple. Protect mum and dad, be firm, very firm with your sister and prepare for her to act like a proper mental....but protect mum and dad and she will either see sense (great), get worse (**** her), try to take her own life badly (remain firm, protect mum and dad) or take her own life, sad but not your fault.

There comes a time when you can do no more. Try but if all else fails protect mum and dad and get on with you own life. Cruel to be kind, I suspect she will take some sick pleasure from involving others in her charade.
 
i hope she looked after the cats, or at least gave them to someone who can (you can tell my priorities in this story are a little off)

my advice to the parents would be stop supporting it before its too late, but it seems we've gone way, way, beyond that.

my personal view is cut her off, completely, not one more penny. let life do the hard hitting lesson and short of her turning up on drugs or as a sex worker there's nothing more. harsh but the longer you leave a problem the more drastic the solution has to become. you can take that or leave it as you like i'm sure some will take issue with that standpoint.

you do at the very minimum as others have suggested is get everyone talking about this, make it clear that everyone knows what's going on. i'm guessing you're independent enough yourself so really its the parents you need to be protecting here.
 
Well... This is going to end badly for everyone involved including you no matter what you do.

Good luck man!
 
Reading your OP the bit that jumps out at me is where you say your mum asked you to go into her email for the netflix and other accounts etc.

That i believe right there was your mums cry for help.

Mums know you better than you think she knew you were a nosey so and so and couldnt help but read an email to your sister with all the other things going on.

I believed she planned for you to see it read it and bring it up especially as you say from it you saw she is down to her last 2000 in pension.

Get hold of her asap meet up for a coffee or something and get it all out in the open.

I think you will be suprised at how much she will welcome the chat and the help.
 
sorry but they sound like a lazy pair of asses. I know the sort and there's lots of them about unfortunately
 
Give me half a chance and I'll turn up at your boxing day dinner and give those cretins a dose of respect they'll never forget. The more I think about this the more it irritates me.
 
Perhaps, I don't know and I don't want to offend you either. But are there times when mental health issues are misdiagnosed laziness (and conversely where laziness is misdiagnosed as mental health issues)?

I know there are genuine cases of mental health, especially inpatients, mental health act, but I'm going with your post. Like a get out of jail card, something you didn't see back in the 80s, just 1 generation ago. People just got on with it back then.
