[quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm so sorry. I think you have to figure out what feels right to you, and what feels fair in terms of your family (and especially your husband) and make your decision based on that. The obvious answer is that no - you don't give someone with the behaviors you describe more money. But things aren't so black and white with family. So what can you live with? I don't know exactly what I'd do in your shoes, but I've been in a similar place with a sibling and I did eventually have to totally cut him off. The last time I helped him I gave him a gift (not a loan) and said he didn't have to repay me but it was the very last time I would be giving him money. Ever. Maybe you could give your dad some amount of money in that way, and tell him that this is the last time and if he chooses to end your relationship over it that is his decision. I'm really sorry.[/quote]
