[QUOTE="2much2recover, post: 640330, member: 18366"] My situation is a little sideways to this one as it is the difficult child daughter who wants to control me [I]in order to get her hands on our money [/I]somewhere down the highway. In no way are we rich, just comfortable for retirement/disabled. difficult child would love to get her hands on "our" money to as she says, "take care of us". Boy can I read that message based on her past actions. First of all I could never, ever, live with difficult child because she is an angry and aggressive personality type person. Say I did live with her, she would just bully me out of whatever she could [I]if I ever put myself in that situation.[/I] When I read on here how people give their adult difficult child's money I just shake my head - retirement money is for you to take care of yourself, [I]especially if your child is a difficult child. [/I](Mine is an only child) The new economic retirement model is to take care of your retirement first because, say you spend it on a child's education, it will then mean harder or leaner times when retirement rolls around while the child that pays for their own education has both years to pay back student loans and save for retirement. When you give (away) money to a difficult child adult child, especially the older ones, you might as well just have thrown that retirement money (and the interest) out the window. Sorry, didn't mean to hijack your thread, but I guess I am trying to say, no matter how you look at it, difficult child's and money should never mix. Seems no matter the relationship there is either strings attached or the non-gif is going to be screwed down the highway! :obeyhypnosmiley: [/QUOTE]
