What do you think of nomad adult children who leave their parents?

I keep on seeing videos on youtube how people live in their vans and travel. I've also read articles on how people who have been nomad for years. I just can't help but wonder how they've just picked up their stuff and left their aging parents and families. I know millennials and younger generations are more into this lifestyle than any other generation before them. I was raised with Christian views and I just can't help but to see this as they are just giving up all responsibility to go wander off. I understand that it's not their obligation to see for their parents but it's just sad for their aging parents. It all just seems so selfish of them to leave their parents and families. It just seems like their is no more compassion since this digital age has come along. I understand there are nursing homes but the way this is going everyone just wants to travel and forget about responsibilities or even people who loved them. The bible is very clear on caring for your parents and I understand everyone has different circumstances. Still this is happening even to good parents. I've also heard that this wandering off and travelling addiction is part of depression. If you know the bible you know God is the healer of it all including depression which comes from darkness demonic forces. What do you think of these nomad adult children who could careless about anyone but themselves?

I stopped reading at wander ✋

We’re meant to be wanderlust.

The earth is ours.

Responsibility to whom?

If everyone has basic food, water, and shelter, there is no obligation to anyone else.🙅‍♀️

Legacy? To their parents?

Lol, their parents wanted to live their best lives too, at that age. No parent was trying to “build an empire;”

this isn’t the clash of clans lmfao

Now if it was… that’d be a different story. 😂

I moved away from my mother (moved closer to my dad), but I have medical power of attorney for her, because being around her is NOT good for my mental health. My mother neglected me severely as a child, I'm still working on letting go of the resentment I've had toward her, and on healing that part of my spirit that she severely damaged, but it's a work in progress.

My mom is on the brink of dementia, and she has some major surgery coming up to clear her carotid artery, and will likely need assistance for a bit after the surgery. I work full time, so I would have no way to be able to care for her as she will likely need someone to care for her 24-7, and I can't stop working long term, (even with FMLA because they DON'T pay you while you use it, they just preserve your job.) or else we would both end up homeless, so she is going to have to go to an assisted living home, that would be the best thing for her.
