First, I think it was a very loving thing your husband did by taking her to a financial adviser. I hope your daughter was able to glean some good information.

Now, for the part of your adviser responding to your daughters question and this only my opinion, I think the adviser should have told her "I cannot discuss this with you. If you have questions about your parents finances you will need to ask them". I don't care if the adviser thought she was just asking out of concern. For me, it comes down to what is ethical in business practices and what the adviser said was not ethical. 

Also, why did your daughter ask the adviser this and not you or your husband as she should have?

I'm glad that you will be discussing the matter with your adviser.



This is a very wise statement!!!



Oh Newstart, I admire you in this regard. I need to try and be more patient in listening to my son.


I'm glad your daughter paid you what she owes you. I agree that she may have sensed things were changing.

I hope she continues on with taking more responsibility for herself. You are wise to keep your guard up. I know with my son, he can show he's "trying" for several months but then he will slip back into his old patterns. I would have to see consistent change for a couple of years before I would believe he's really "changed".


You are doing great Newstart. You have grown and gained so much strength.
