Maybe you did make a mistake. Your family had a diversified income stream before. You probably didn't send your dad money, but at least you weren't draining him, and if the worst happened, your income could have been a great help to the family.

Now all your family's eggs are in a single basket ... which is already leaking. Strategically, this was not optimum for your family.

Your dad is emotionally invested in his business, which has caused him to hold off shutting it down. Finally, he made that difficult decision, and you've come to muddy the waters.

I'm uncertain what kind of web site can realistically be expected to pull a failing floor tile store into success. Perhaps you and your dad can examine the local economy around your dad's store and start fresh with a new business, in a new industry, combining your skills.
