28-year-old cuts off financial support to his parents after 3 years of paying and putting his own life on hold: ‘I’ve been living paycheck to paycheck just to keep up with helping them’

I remember it being Honor your father and mother, not Live paycheck to paycheck, bankrolling an overspending lifestyle your father and mother

Temporary financial help has a way of not being temporary. It starts with a specific crisis, a job loss, an unexpected bill, something with a clear beginning and an implied end. You step in because it feels like the right thing to do and because the situation seems bounded. Then the situation stops being bounded, and the help just continues, month after month, until the word temporary no longer applies to anything except the original justification for starting.
