[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 605589, member: 13542"] Mutt, I don't want to throw a monkey wrench into your plan, but as an older woman too and one who has made many sacrifices for the children, couldn't you just sell your own house, pay your debts and live in a small cottage wherever you like on your Social Security and/or pension once you're out of debt? It just sounds flimsy to me to rely on your difficult child to pay you in increments over time, that could go south at any time and you're the one holding the bag. I'm sorry to be the naysayer here, but I feel someone should be advocating for YOU. You worked for everything, and even now, you are giving away any assets with the HOPE that your son pays you back. Your younger son is responsible for his home and his life [U]not you[/U]. You are the one who seems to continue to sacrifice. If your son used all of your mothers money, isn't that enough? At our age, we need to take care of ourselves. [/QUOTE]
