Hi Suzy,

Do you have a financial agreement? These things should be covered. I am appalled when parents don't pay for their kids. I provide Ashley with a car (ok she is paying me back for some of it) and a home, groceries etc and pay 2/3 of tuition. And I recently took early retirement. But he still squawks about his 1/3.

Ryan has an insurance settlement which pays for most of his nursing care and some other expenses so I do not ask for or expect help from his dad. But still - when you love someone - you should want to help out. In my opinion. His not helping with Ryan is more about hurting me - not about not helping if you can understand that.
