First, tell the truth.
35 years old, approaching middle age. It seems a shame not to repay the mortgage at this time. But at the age of 35, you are human. At the age of 35, you are still the child who didn't grow up in the eyes of your parents. Don't feel ashamed, just tell your parents about the difficulties.
As experienced people, parents can understand the hardships of life and understand that you can't afford the pressure of mortgage, so they usually try their best to help you tide over the difficulties.
No matter what kind of predicament you are in now, please be sure to tell your parents so that they can have a certain understanding, and then your parents will thank you for your trust and they will tide over the difficulties with you. So don't hide or deceive your parents, and don't think you are a white lie. In fact, this idea is wrong. As experienced people, parents have never seen any big waves. They will be your strongest backing and eternal supporters.
Being honest with your parents is the best way to ask for help. Your so-called face is a joke in the eyes of your parents and a sign of your hypocrisy and distrust.
Second, strive for progress.
After telling your parents the truth, you should also tell your parents your inner feelings and future plans, so that your parents can see your attitude and your future.
Parents are the people who want you to live well the most in the world, so don't have too much worry and pressure, just open your heart to your parents.
Parents' help is only temporary. In the long run, we should try to improve our earning power to get rid of the present situation. Don't rely on temporary help from your parents. My parents have been busy all my life and saved a little hard money. Don't squander it too much, but help my parents save it.
You have improved your ability and speed of making money, so the problem of repaying the mortgage is naturally not a problem. So we still have to rely on ourselves to make ourselves stronger. This is the most crucial point, and this is what parents want to see.
Difficulties are temporary, not permanent. Parents will be anxious and sad when they see you depressed. For yourself, for your parents and for the future, you must work hard and make progress.
