Exhausted and irritated

You know, I have zero issue with someone having mental health issues. I went through some pretty trying times myself and am forever grateful for those who helped, and dealt with my issues despite it being a lot. The thing that irritates me so much with the my BPD family member in my life is that they suck up all everyones good will, help and energy and then completely crap on it after using it all up.

My swBPD has once again duped our parents into believing some shoddy story about how they needs a ton of money, and of course my parents gave it out.. They claimed they owed someone and if they didn't get it to the person then they were going to get sued and potentially put their home in foreclosure. Even went as far as to throw in that the person in question may resort to "violence" to get it back.

Now suddenly my sibling is able to buy a lot of new expensive items. A bunch of new clothes, makeup and is talking about going on a vacation. Not even trying to hide any of it, just blatantly obvious the money was all for themselves.

And obviously this was no small sum of money.. Almost $10,000 of which our parents don't really have. They are getting up in age and they are constantly siphoning off anything they can. It's coming out of their retirement funds and other savings at this point. Zero concern if they have enough for their needs or god forbid one gets sick and needs extra funds.

I don't know what to do anymore. The strain and stress that is being put on everyone is far too much to handle. It's so disturbing and cruel. Everything is about them. It never ends.
