[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this a financial need, or a financial kindness you’re griping about?

Her child’s needs must have been significant to get evaluated and diagnosed at age 2. On top of dealing with that, having your husband leave.

OP, did you know that having a child with special needs (both mental/behavioural and physical) is a huge reason that many marriages fail?

Her income may mean little if she’s been paying OOP for the therapies and help to get her apparently early diagnosable child the help he needed to now go to a mainstream school. That doesn’t mean that help isn’t still needed.

Is it really hard to hear her out and pat her on the back occasionally?

And the financial stuff.. I’ll ask again - are you being asked to pay her electric bill, or is MIL wanting to pay for something nice for her?

Doesn't the ex husband, the father of this child, pay anything?  It seems to me that SIL should be working out the logistics of her son's care with her child's father.  I don't understand why SIL is going to her extended family expecting them to hand over money to her.  She is already earning A LOT.  If she needs even more money to support her lifestyle maybe she should consider getting remarried. It would also help her to have a partner who can be emotionally supportive of her.
