Do we get something out of enabling our grown kids?

[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 637516, member: 1550"] Another thing. In the United States, if you spend your retirement, you h ave nothing. YOU will be homeless. The government does not provide for the elderly. We get social security. In many cases, like mine, it is not enough to live on, but it won't be increased. So our retirement is mandatory here. I doubt many of us could spend all of it for a rare possible cure of cancer for a beloved relative even if we wanted to. Many of us can't even afford the travel fare. Our difficult children, in general, know darn well what they are doing, that they are manipulating us and being abusive, and it is within t heir control not to do it. We try not to judge one another here. We cope the way we have to cope. Frankly, our grown kids are basically thieves, moochers and drug addicts and addiction may be an illness, but it is curable. Let's be kind to one another. [/QUOTE]
