We though the same the first day, but around 5hs ago, we were told that he has had micro-strokes for around a month now (we believed his sudden mood swings were due to his diabetes and high sugar), and that the big stroke produced a brain hemorrhage, which happened again yesterday.

He could survive, but neither us nor the doctors are so hopeful, since if his blood pressure increases again, he could very certainly simply die on the spot. Mom is already grieving and trying to make peace with it, but sisters are still hopeful.

Taking my friend in account, who has the best job amongst us, he gains 220k a month, so around 1.5 years of his wage.

They're considering it, but my mom is already working herself off to maintain the house, and my sisters still have a future studying their careers and doing really well, so I'd rather keep them free to continue their studies instead of making them work too.

3 million, but on the local coin. Converted to US dollars, it would be closer to 3 thousand.

 

Basically, I'm 25M and never had a real job. 2 days ago, my father just had a CVA and it's at death's door, having been the only income for our family his whole life. While he was a god awful parent to me, he did give us everything we needed, and he was a great dad to my sisters.

Now that he's about to die, we not only lost our only provider, but he's leaving us with a huge debt to pay (over 3M in local coin, around 3k USD) due to all the loans he took the last 2 years to buy fancy stuff for himself and my sisters, and being the older brother, it falls on me to bring the food to the table.

I honestly don't know what to do at this point, I feel overwhelmed by all the sudden responsibilities, and running away isn't an option, I can't bring myself to leave my sisters and mother behind.

If I learned something over the years, is that people are FUCKING STUPID, as in no matter how vile, greedy, treacherous pieces of shit are the candidates, they will always vote for the same person because they truly believe that they're doing the right thing. And no matter how much proof or information you give them, they will delude themselves that you're trying to trick them with propaganda.

At the end, I simply gave up on the idea of people not being brainless pieces of meat.

This looks like something straight from analog horror, and I don't like it in the slightest...

I usually have the opposite happen to me. When someone happens to ask me about something, I tend to go into the specifics and give detailed information that I consider relevant and/or useful, but get complained that I'm "showing off" or being a jerk trying to make them look dumb. I kind of get what they mean, but I still can't figure out where the line is when considering the other person knowledge of something without coming off as condescending or rude.

I tried to kill myself. Twice. I would either have to deal with my old man's shit or break my mom's heart, neither of which I could tolerate.
