[QUOTE="dstc_99, post: 574288, member: 15473"] husband and I discussed it and decided we would send my father $400 a month in order to pay for the increases in household expenses and any necessities. Since I had to meet them in order to get papers notarized on Monday I went ahead and gave my father the $200 which he immediately handed over to the difficult child. I was not happy about that because basically she is now getting $400 a month to live on and he is footing all her bills with no help. If I had known he was just going to hand it to difficult child I would have set a lower amount because there is no way she needs $100 a week to pay for her basic needs. On the other hand I can't make him use the money to keep from having to pick up the difference in their bills and living expenses. So I think we may need to rethink the amount so that difficult child doesn't have a ton of extraneous money to get in trouble with. Maybe I can have husband contact them and have a talk with them but we do have a family therapy appointment on January 22nd and maybe that will be a safe place to discuss the issues. [/QUOTE]
