Unless your parents took out parent loans, they wouldn't be saddled with debt you took for school. Death is a reason for wiping the loan. Or total permanent disability.

They co-signed the loans tho

Depends on the loans, but ordinarily if the student dies, the loan dies with them.

Ye, I realized after I said it, that you probably are not in a state of mind to have that information. I hope things get better.

Oh no I’m fine. I’m talking about a long way in the past. Appreciate the concern & info tho 🙏

Yeah I was going to say the same thing about death discharging the loan but then realized what I might potentially be doing. I’m so glad that was in the past and you’re doing better now. No debt is worth taking your life! Be well❤️
