[quote=Anonymous]Sorry this happened op. I hope you can have a heart to heart talk with your children. They probably don't have a clue how insensitive they were. I remember being somewhat emotionally selfish in college. I worked and didn't get any handouts after I left the nest, but I also was not as kind to my parents as I should have been. A lot is going on in that age, hormonally and with new and stressful experiences. My parents were like the constant rocks in my life, and I think I just came to expect that without appreciating it or really even thinking of them as real people with feelings that I could hurt. I loved them like crazy, I just had no clue that my behaviors affected them at all.

I disagree with the posters who say just cut their funds off. That could be very dangerous long term for your relationship. You would want their respect whether or not you were helping them financially, that should be non negotiable, but also not contingent, if that makes sense. I like the idea of the poster who had the relatively small monthly allotment.

Hopefully working through this and not being a pushover will t have them respecting you more in the long term.[/quote]
