Never, EVER help your parents or relatives. What you consider "help" they will see as an opportunity to try to get more money from you. They WILL fuck you over.If you are already helping them, STOP IMMEDIATELY. Think of it 10 times, especially about the ways they will try to scam you or extort you. Take note of that and assume it WILL happen. Then just abandon the attempt at helping them. Leave them ASAP and don't look back. Just forget everything. You might have lost some time or money now, but you will end up losing a lot more in the future.If they victimize themselves, stop giving a shit. None of their problems was your responsibility, they are not your problem and should not ever be until they are too old to manage their own lives, and even then you should pay someone else to take care of them. In fact, you were and STILL ARE their responsibility. THEY should have given you a good life, and not the reverse.I'm posting this because I wish someone had told me something like this decades ago.
