[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are your parents still married?

Do not blame anyone but your parents. Your dad gave away money and your mo stayed married to him instead of fighting for her family. Why should your cousins or aunts/uncles hold this blame?[/quote]

I agree with this.

My parents have had low/moderate incomes most of their lives. There were a few years where my dad's business did really great and they had $$$. Shocking how they gave away so much, and threw away so much on crap and vacations and expensive renovations... then when it came time to pay for my sister's college, suddenly it wasn't there. Oh well, that's Americans I guess. Also, when they got divorced, my mom gave most of her money away to a "friend." Although I'd be pretty pissed if I actually had to meet this "friend" I don't feel as bad about the money my dad gave to his brothers, some of whom were legitimately in a tough place financially. I certainly don't resent my uncles and cousins.

I'm long out of the house and none of this impacted me but I am angry on my sister's behalf. It doesn't impact me, but it's hard to forget. [/quote]
