I am gay & single .. but why my parents has to suffer
I am 30 yo.. and my dad is 67 years and mom is 63 yrs old. Being the only son, i have responsibilities of my parents. Unfortunately they are not very active at this juncture of life. My dad suffers from heart disease, artheritis and sometimes he gets epilepsy fits.. which can not be cured as he already had an operation of brain at his young age. And now when doctor has advised us to do his brain surgery again, we refused. So my dad is actually home ridden only.
Its my mom, who generally does all the day to day outside work.. for example submission of electricity, phone and water bills, or going to bank to withdraw the money.. etc.. etc... I am too busy with my work or my so called social life to bother about these things... But today i am scared... i dont know what to do.. and hence i am sharing this thing with you all.
My mom went today to deposit property tax. She had Rs.5000/- in cash to deposit.. There was a HUGE rush of people at that place. One middle aged guy, who was very prim and proper approached my mom and offered her to deposit the tax for her. She asked her to give the money to him so that he can deposit the money for her. Though initially she was reluctant to give her the cash for deposit but somehow, she agreed to it and as soon as she gave him the cash and the form to deposit. That guy vanished.. Obviously.. he had to ...
ANy normal person may think, that how stupid my mom was to believe on that guy. And it deserved her.. BUT NO....
I know my mom.. how fragile she is... still she has to do all such stupid work.. which actually i should be responsible for. I dont blame my mom for this. Rather i am thankful that mom was saved. The guy only too the cash for the property tax. He didnt snatched my mom's purse or her jewellery.
But this incident raised a so many doubts, thoughts and questions in my mind.
You all know that i am GAY , and i am not gonna marry... So who will take care of my parents. How i can save them from such incidents. My first thought was to hire a domestic help. But in todays world, even domestic helps are much more dangerous. For them aged people are easy pray and they can kill them for looting the house.
Now i am really very worried for them. I am not able to think, as to how can i help my parents.
The question is not only about gay or straight.. but now a days, with the increase number of divorces, many individuals prefer to stay single. So how can they make sure that their parents back at home are safe and sound.
Please help me and suggest me some ways, which are practical...so that i can have a work life balance.
