[QUOTE="SonBrotherFather, post: 761442, member: 28137"] [COLOR=rgb(44, 130, 201)]Thank you for responding. You are absolutely correct; and I tell her this all the time. It's not 'our' money or 'his' money; it's her money. And I tell my brother that--- but he always refers to funds as 'his share'. Hello McFly?! Mom is still with us, so there is no 'share' until she is gone. But to keep the peace and protect her assets, I have to present the scenario to my mom as 'shares' because that is what she understands. Agree with you that it's wrong to help him. He asks as if he is 'borrowing' the funds. And my mom acknowledges that he would never pay it back. But at this point, if he were evicted because she did not help him, that would crush her soul and she would probably never recover from that. And I resent my brother for that possible outcome. My wife has been very supportive and echos many of the same comments from all of you.[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
