[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 323663, member: 1991"] DDD, I share your concern about him accepting anything from biomom. Even if the stuff is his, she is likely to hold it over him and say something like, "You never paid me for all the years I stored this stuff for you," or some such. The state it's in - it could be easily cleaned up and painted if necessary, that wouldn't be the issue. You can clean up just about anything. But you can't do anything about someone who wants to find every excuse to ask for money. Best you can do (and it's a good lesson for difficult child) is to not give them a toehold in to manipulate anyone. Get difficult child watching Judge Judy regularly. Teach him the phrases, "Get real!" and "Don't *&% on my leg and tell me it's raining." He needs to learn how to get tough with biomom. Hang on, this could be a bumpy ride! He is likely to have "friends" wanting to put the bite on him also. Same story - he has to learn to manage his own finances, so do his 'friends'. To dole out money too freely is not donig anyone any favours, including the ones you hand money to. It's the fastest way to lose friends and family, to let money get in the way. Marg [/QUOTE]
