Resenting parent that chose poverty cycle as a big “f u” to society

Hey everyoneIt’s my first time posting in this group and I apologise in advance if this is lengthy but I want to get this off my chest. I was born in a low income single parent household. I love my parent and they are great but there is one major issue I have with them. And it’s that I have come to realise that they chose to be in the economic position that they are in.Let me explain further since I’m not sure many could relate. My parent has openly said that they have declined opportunities that could have led to a more comfortable life on the basis of they oppose supporting the “system” (I.e government, capitalism). This would be all fine and dandy if they didn’t have kids. But to chose a struggle life in which housing security in my opinion is lowkey selfish. They got a job when I went to secondary school but chose to work the bare minimum hours needed to survive because they feel like they were not made for work and didn’t want to pay tax.Anyway the point is, the chickens have come home to roost. Since they refused to put away money retirement since they saw adding a pension as a way of being robbed, they are most likely going to work until they are dead. They have no funeral insurance and they are in arrears on their rent.I try and help but I am studying at university whilst working minimum wage (I don’t live at home) and I am trying to set up myself financially. But I am beginning to resent stuff like my emergency fund is not just for me, it’s for them just incase they get even worse. I am scared of how I will be able to afford one day taking more and more of their expenses. My other siblings can’t help because they have adopted my parent’s poor misuse of money so the bulk of financially bailing out this parent falls on me.I guess I’m writing this because I don’t know how to prepare and it is stressing me out. I know the world we live in is trash and I understand their contempt but it’s actually done more harm than good. Sometimes they boast about being an outsider of the system and a part of me wants to scream at them and say “well as a result of your actions it’s me who has to clean up this mess you have made”. I’m sorry if I sound selfish and I’ll probably calm down after a goodnights sleep. But it’s so aggravating that this person chose to live like this when there are those who had no choice.Anyway rant over. Here’s a medal 🏅 for those who made it this far!!! via /r/povertyfinance https://ift.tt/3k7X6ak
