[QUOTE="in a daze, post: 643178, member: 15832"] Thanks for posting, Scott! What a nice update! Thanks for reminding me and all the "mommies" on this site (that is, those of us who need reminding) that our sons are grown men and not little boys any longer. I was talking to my cousin last night, who has a difficult child sister. Last year, she told her mother, "I am giving you a choice. You can either keep giving money to difficult child; in that case I am signing over POA to her and she can handle your's and handicapped brother's affairs, at which case I am DONE with you and I am cutting off all ties. Or, you will stop giving money to difficult child and I will continue to help and support you, provided that you show me your bank statement every month. I will be back at the end of the day and you can let me know of your decision." This was last spring and my aunt was in the hospital recovering from surgery. She chose to stop giving her daughter money, and has held to that. Daughter is doing just fine and surviving somehow (at least according to her Facebook posts!) This is similar to what you did with your wife, Scott. I don't know if I could do it, but it was certainly effective! Drastic symptoms call for drastic actions... [/QUOTE]
