[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 676263, member: 1550"] I'm sorry you have suffered so much and for so long. Doing the math, I know you both have to be at the very least 71 and probably older. It is well past your time to parent this almost senior citizen son. I can't tell you what to do, but I sure would not pay anything for a 53 year old who refuses to get his life together. What will he do when you're gone? If you even have money left over to give him, he will blow right through it. Your son is not unlucky. He made bad choices and is now getting old and has nothing due to his own choices. Your daughter made GOOD choices and is reaping those rewards and so are you because you have her and her children to love. Please...think about taking care of yourselves now. Taking care of Mason has not helped him. You're right that he is very unlikely to change, but he won't change at all for certain unless you cut off his money supply. Really, he (NOT YOU BUT HE) should be ashamed of himself, taking anything from you at his age. Hugs for your hurting heart. Wishing you the willpower to let go and enjoy your retirement in peace.
