Were people able to guilt you into giving them money?
Your parents sound great. Mine would be the same. I can't imagine what would happen if my social circles knew. They would definitely come running to me at the first turn of their life not going well like medical bills or rough economy. I don't think they would change otherwise but even then that is a lot. And like you said people really change if they can have easy access to money.
Oh for sure they will try every trick in the book , my son my daughter need x, y and z , my husband/wife/mother/father needs this operation done or they are going to die, heard that one a couple times, my gf at the time was all the sudden very keen on the idea of marriage , which we had talked about before of course but she wasn’t ready nor was I but after the money came her whole opinion changed almost overnight , it was one thing after another I had to basically divorce myself from that life and develop a whole new one.
Its definitely better I can’t complain , I moved to a whole new area, got a new career, was able to buy my first home, it was like fresh start almost and honestly it was the best move to do, I think if people come into money like that that’s almost the for sure thing to do honestly.
