[QUOTE="JKL, post: 763442, member: 30759"] Thank you for your wisdom, Nomad. We are in shock at this moment. For many reasons too complicated to explain briefly. Worst part is our son is penniless, in the Philippines where his "wife" says they can't get help like food and money because they live in a condo. She was born there, so it may be true. Or a lie to get us to send more money. She claims they are not getting paid until first quarter of next year for their contracted work which they will finish then. She lied to us one time. We don't believe her. My BiPolar (BP) is soaring because I'm afraid for our son who is on a visa there. We told them to go to charities to get food. They don't have the rent money for January and have enough cash to get them through Christmas day. Nice present for us to get at this holiday season. We have given them 50k in the last 3 years, without knowing what they actually spent it for. Our son gets a nice contract in his field of science but goes months between jobs. He seldom came home during the last 20 years. We knew he was drinking. Addressed it 20 years ago. That separated us when he said, "My friends would tell me if I had a drinking problem." Yeah. They were drinking with him. End of a beautiful family. We were good parents. Gave him everything he needed to succeed. Things our parents didn't give us, yet we made it on our own. I'm having difficulty emotionally. [/QUOTE]
