scaredsilly, I don't see that I said I thought anyone should be giving any adult children $500, sorry for that misunderstanding.
About the proportional giving there are ways to figure that with income and outgo, each puts in a proportion based on income and it leaves both with discretionary income. It doesn't take into account income from savings but if he has decided in the past not to honor an agreement about that, I'm not sure what you can do.
Was this money issue a stated boundary when you decided to reconcile?

Let me give up the need to know why things happen as they do. I will never know and constant wondering is constant suffering. Caroline Myss
