(26M) First of all, My dad got heart problem, prescribed with Nitrostat recently. and today Doctor tells my dad that he needs a surgery.

so my dad asking me for the 100% amount of money for that surgery. he is a long term smoker. and they can’t really afford it themself, because there is no insurance for that surgery.

so I told him: I think you should quit smoke immediately, or I don’t see the point of paying that bill. telling him I won’t pay the bill unless he quit smoke.

then my mother went off and telling me that I am ungrateful, my dad tells me he ain’t gonna drop smoke instantly and “will quit it slowly” “it takes time” stuff, makes no promise.

meanwhile I am telling him to quit it for about 15 years, no progress at all, and now here we are, COPD + Heart issue.

I don’t see the point of such stubbornness, I think quitting is a obvious decision, but I can’t read their mind, and I don’t know what to do.
