Supporting my parents at 25!

Please anyone. I just need someone's help. This situation is so complicated so I'll try to summarize as much as I can.

My mom is disabled with a broken back and is on a lot of pain medication due to 3 back surgeries going wrong. She will be disabled forever, she is worse off now than before any of her surgeries and no doctor will do back work on her again.

My dad is a 42 yr old man who in my opinion is just plain lazy. He never works. All he does is sit on his a** and watches tv and smokes 3 packs of cigarettes a day. My mom claims he is "too sick" to work. Except for the fact that he has always been that way. Before my mom's back was broken she worked 3 jobs, while he did nothing.

Now my grandpa who is 81 works full-time to support my parents. He has been doing this since my mom's 1st surgery about 10 yrs ago. However he is getting too old and will pretty soon be unable to give my parents $

My mom does nothing but cry to me and my brothers about not giving her money. She says we are horrible kids. This hurts me very much. I wish I could help but I'm only 25 and I have my own bills to worry about.

They live in this 4 bedroom house that I tell them they need to sell because they can't afford it. They have every single cable tv you could get. They smoke about 3 packs of cigarettes a day. And like I said my dad who does nothing. They lie and tell everyone that he does "side jobs" but the truth is he does nothing. Bill collectors are always calling the house. My mom gets served court papers all the time. Then she calls up one of her kids and cries for money.

I am about to go insane! I just don't know what to do. I want to help but I can't. My mom doesn't understand that me putting $5000 on a credit card is not real $

What would you do if this was your family? Am I really a bad daughter?

I will add one more thing. I finally got my mom to tell me why my dad doesn't work, and she said it was because he has a disease. He is addicted to her pain medication. To me this is not an excuse! Then when I don't give them my $ he calls me scum.

Please help!!!!
