My father has been in debt all his life, due to an old gambling addiction and from getting cheated of money. He no longer has that addiction however he is still constantly in debt.
Recently due to an incident which caused huge expenses for him, he’s asked me for $6000. I do not want to loan him, however it makes me feel that guilt of not fulfilling my role as a daughter if I do not loan him. Moreover, he mentioned his alternative is to take a bank loan which has higher interest. I’m really afraid that it will be the start of another vicious cycle.
