Why don't you use your time and your money to help out your Dad. I'm sorry that things like this happen but, I don't think you or anybody else has the right to impose or force me by law & legislation to finacially take care of your responsibility. I have my own 97 year old Grandma, 73 year old Mom, 18, 19, 21 & 23 year old children and my own 1 1/2 year old Grandson that I try and take care of or help out in anyway I can. I want my kids do grow up to be self sufficient/reliant and not to be dependent on Government. Socialism works great, until you run out of my money. Get involved with your local church and with charities, someone just might be able to help you and your family out. In turn you should likewise help others out. Quit looking for the government to help you out because in the long run they will screw all of us, including you.
