[QUOTE="SeekingStrength, post: 631988, member: 17635"] Blackgnat, Your question hit me between the eyes. About ten years ago, my parents "loaned" (of course, of course)difficult child $2500 to "get his life back on track". He rented an apt. We knew the apt manager and her father. husband and i discussed it so many times. We KNEW difficult child would blow the $$. We KNEW difficult child would not pay the rent. SHOULD WE WARN HER????? Six months later, he was evicted. Apt manager called husband at work and asked him if we could make good on the past due rent, that she only rented to difficult child because she knew us. She was in trouble with the owner. That was tough, very. difficult child was about 23; we knew we were not responsible, but it make us feel shaky---that we should have warned her. [B]Even with that experience, i agree. It is NOT our responsibility[/B]. Our difficult child's must deal with the consequences. Sadly enough, difficult child never had to deal with the shake out of unpaid rent, and that happens enough---they walk away pretty much unscathed -- makes it easier to jerk around the next person. Anyway, i understand why you asked this. [/QUOTE]
