My original post got locked. Going to try again here and hopefully it doesn't get locked this time.<br><br><br>Here's the update. Link to the original post in the comment. <br><br><br>I just spoke with my mom. Thank you all for your comments and suggestions.<br><br><br>So what happened was my sister and her husband put my parents in a position like this: My sister and her husband said that they were going to buy a house together, either my parents or his parents could move in with them. My parents couldn't afford the house that my sister and her husband wanted to buy, so her in-laws bought it for them. Then they said that my parents couldn't move in because they were "too difficult" and my sister and her husband aren't willing to make that sacrifice for me and my brother. They said that my parents can't live with my brother because he has a child of his own and a home of his own, just like they do, and my parents need to live with her because she is the oldest and it's the "Asian" way of doing things. My parents tried to negotiate and said that they can't live with her because she has two kids of her own and it would be too much on her, plus she has a little girl and she said that she would rather have her mom than her dad.<br><br><br>Anyway, my parents are going to let my brother take care of everything. They're going to give him power of attorney and let him manage their finances, pay off their debts, and sell their house. They're going to use that money to buy a house of their own, and then they're not going to tell my sister where they live. So basically my parents are going to go off the grid and not tell my sister where they live until she is willing to let them live with her.<br><br><br>Thank you all for your help and advice.
