[QUOTE="Triedntrue, post: 754586, member: 21499"] I agree with the others. How are you going to help anyone if you give them all your money. There is a national number 211 that can tell you what help is available in your area if you are in the US. Is there any possibility of help from the father or his family? You need to take care of yourself and devote your money to yourself. My son is 37 currently in jail and has nowhere to go when he is out. I have used a large sum of my retirement and my credit cards to help him. I wont do it anymore i will give what i choose but no rent no vehicles . Dont get me wrong it's not easy and sometimes I feel guilty and then i think about how 1 sided it all is. Or i think aboutwhat he has done (or not done) with the opportunities i and others have given him. I think about how his YOUNGER brothers are and have been independent. Then i realize that this will not end until i end it and make him learn to be independent. The same is true for your daughter. The hard part is your grandchildren. Maybe you could help with babysitting or get groceries if it eases your mind. Please take care of yourself and give your daughter information not money. [/QUOTE]
