[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s understandable you are upset and legally as mentioned your mom is on the hook. Circumstances in life change and I can imagine the struggle not just emotionally but financially from a later in life divorce for your mom. If [b]she was a good mom to you growing up why not help ease that burden[/b]? Yes, you will have to change your financial plans but she’s got a much shorter time frame to catch up than you. [/quote]

By screwing over her own kids. And so not being a good mom *to them*. So if OP winds up in financial difficulties they shouldn’t help her catch up.[/quote]

Being a good parent is more than what happens financially, IMO. It sounds like either side is going to have financial difficulties/challenges with this situation. Unfortunately, mom still has less time to catch up. I think it’s reasonable to help with the student loan, but tell mom the rest of her retirement she will need sort out on her own whether that means selling her house, working more, etc..[/quote]
