Default Re: Do Parents Enable or Help their Adult Children when they Pay their Living Expenses?

It came from 2004. Before the banks collapsed and the Eurozone crumbled, all we had to worry about was whether to help kids with their bills. Yeah, I'm joking but this is an old thread.

He got in trouble in another State and was in Jail. Everyone told me not to bail him out. But he kept wearing me down and I prayed and fought it but found myself on the phone using my credit card to pay his bail bond of 6515.00. I set demands on him that after thinking about it he wont follow through and I'm angry and pray and there has got to be something wrong with me.

When I say I fought it I mean I FOUGHT IT. God what the **** is wrong with me?
Please start another thread because this one is too old to resurrect from the archives.
