[QUOTE="Lil, post: 684615, member: 17309"] I know. I keep telling myself that over and over. He's not my problem. He's been here since February and if he had been working he and our son could have had money in the bank to tied them over. He chose not to work. He has family - have THEY sent him $300 for a hotel? Have they done [I]anything[/I]? He's a GROWN MAN - about 30! I work with LAWYERS who are that age! At 30 you should have a job, a car, credit cards, maybe even a mortgage for God's sake! At 30 I will NOT be supporting my son! Sure, I may still be willing to lend him a hand in an emergency - like a fire - aaannnddd that's where my backbone starts buckling. But I try my best to brace it up with the fact that, had he come here in February and gotten a job - if he'd been working all along and helping my son and his girlfriend pay the bills - Jabber and I would likely have felt very differently about him.
