My mom is so poor, she is also getting really old and still has to work and it's so sad to see but I it's so completely her fault I don't know what to do.

She had to pull out $600 plus fees from her retirement account in order to make a payment and buy a car battery that she's known she needed for 6 months but it finally crapped out for good and left her stranded at 7-11. She couldn't save $200 for a battery over 6 months but she buys weed every week, so she sabotages her only savings.

Then the other day she comes home and he went to an estate sale and paid $30 for some decorative bowls with spray paint on them and a DVD player... the only DVDs she owns are from like 20 years ago and she has three different streaming subscriptions already. Anyways, the DVD player doesn't even have HDMI so she can't plug it in to anything because her TV doesnt have the old hookups, the one with the yellow cable... so it's useless.

The bowls are currently in the trash because they have spraypaint on them and the DVD player has been sitting on a chair collecting dust for over a week now, right next to where she watches netflix. I can't get out of my head how happy she was when she brought this crap home because she only paid $30 for it.

Her dogs are also pissing and shitting on the floor and I tell her that they need to go out every 4 hours because they are small dogs. She just lies and says she let them out but she has been sleeping on the couch for the past 6 hours straight. She will wake up with piss and shit on the floor and then yell at the dogs and blame them for it.

She gets extremely angry when I point out any of these things to her. Am I just supposed to not care at all like her?

You can't help people who don't want to be helped. Let her do this and tell her you won't be her safety net, she's a grown ass woman

Dude. I'm disabled after a back injury, and my parents are old. They were good parents, I was just stupid and made bad decisions. I'm terrified about our future, they can barely work nowadays, my mom might have a terminal disease but she doesn't have health insurance so she can't get proper treatment, my dad can barely work nowadays, any day now one will pass away, I'm fucking terrified. I've been trying to not think about it lately but this reminded me and it sent me into a panic attack. It's like my brain refuses to accept the severity of my situation, the fact that I cannot work again unless it's some office job, I will eventually ran out of savings and then what? Holy fuck, man, this is no joke, this is legitimately a life and death situation, but my brain refuses to see it because it sends me into a panic attack and I freak out. I don't know what I'll do honestly, suicide seems like the most viable option. I refuse to live a life filled with physical pain and on top of that poor and constantly stressed out.
