[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 713559, member: 18516"] Bluebell, I know just how you feel. Here's my take on it. I have worked hard all my life so I could have a life, a good life. I live in a nice home, I drive a nice car and take nice vacations. I have also helped my son on numerous occasions financially. I have afforded him many opportunities to get his life in order. Each time I've done this, the result is the same, he ends up partying and doing what he wants to do. He wants the benefit of money without having to work for it. Those of us who have worked hard to have the lives we have should not and are not obligated to help our ungrateful difficult adult children. This does not make us selfish. If we continue to give our difficult adult children financial help their hand will always be open wanting more. I'm dealing with this right now. I started a post about letter from prison - now asking for money. Yes, my son starting his 2 year prison sentence and wants us to send him $200.00 What I can tell you Bluebell is you are not selfish for wanting to hold onto what you have worked so hard for. ((HUGS)) to you.................... [/QUOTE]
