To resent my father because he's rich and could help me ?

[grabbie]

Is that grabby and entitled ?

Who knows? You would need to elaborate just a bit.

Help you with what? Depends why you need it.

Context is useful. Helping you out to make ends meet? Reasonable request. Refusing to give you money for yet another Rolex? Then YABU.

Why do you need help?

It isn’t always reasonable to expect a parent to help an adult child make ends meet. If it is something out with their control. Then yes, but if it is due to lifestyle choices ie don’t work, don’t want to , choosing different things, then it’s unreasonable.

Did you ever care about him before?
When he's sick do you ask about him / his health, for example?

Not expecting you to put yourself out at all as you're the child. But just asking if there was ever reciprocity of feeling, in terms of him being able to think that you care about him.

As there's cases of unthinking people who only care about others in terms of what can benefit them.

I'm not well. I am struggling to keep working because of my illness but I need to, if I want to keep the life I have.

It wouldn't be an issue if I was well.

In the absence of any information - yes. I assume you are a grown up and therefore ought to be standing on your own two feet.

He’s your dad and if he had any parental feelings at all he would actively want to help you.

Sorry Op, sounds crap.

Unless you’ve already been a bottomless pit asking for hand out after hand out, YANBU.

That's what sick leave is for. What do you think the rest of us without rich relatives do?

Yes, yabu

There are always two sides to every story...

Ok

Cross posted with your update - and the answer is still yes. There isn't a lot of information here, but if there is a long term condition, is he supposed to take the place of a wage for the rest of his / your life? That isn't reasonable. If you'd like a loan to get private treatment which will enable you to return to work and support yourself - perhaps he should consider helping. But we know nothing about your relationship other than you think he's rich and should bankroll you.

it depends I guess. I would, however, in general expect parents to help their children if it was within their means. We all need support now and again. My parents have helped me, and in the future I fully expect to help my children.

You either need to carry on working to have the life you have, or give up working and lower your expectations.

You can't expect your father to just fund your life indefinitely.

Yep. I would absolutely help my children if they found themselves in difficult circumstances through no fault of their own. In fact I already have. I'm not rich, but I'm comfortable enough to be able to help with short term problems. Obviously I couldn't replace an income though.

He's super rich, he wouldn't need to blink or suffer in any way to help. Just doesn't want to.

What do you want to know about our relationship ? We have a good one in general.

This^^

You cannot expect a parent to fund you when you're fully grown.

I have a hugh earnings and he does not help me financially outside of birthdays when he tends to give me cash

Someone has to inherit it anyway don't they. So why not help a child while alive? I would help my kids and I will.

Have you asked him? My feeling is that he should help, he’s your dad and he’s rich.

No I would not ask, it should come from him/

So you want to stop working altogether forever? But not reduce your lifestyle at all?

Oh dear
How mercenary
He may leave it to the cat's home

yabu to ask people to side with you when you won’t give any background to the story.
