[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Paying off the cost of her education does not obligate OP to help her mom with future financial issues. The real issue is does OP have an obligation to pay for at least part of her education now that she has more money than she did at 18-22. If her name is not on the loan, she doesn’t have a legal obligation even though the loan was taken out for her benefit. She can tell her mother to handle it by herself.[b] Does OP have any moral obligation[/b]? [/quote]

YES! And where does the value of their relationship figure into this? What will their future together be like after the OP says to her mother, "Not my loan, not my problem"??? Sheesh, what kind of family relationships do you people have? What if her mom had said that to her when she was trying to get her degree? "Not my education, not my problem." Do you think OP would have a loving relationship with her mother now if her mother had done that, or would she be posting about it on DCUM for the rest of her life trying to drum up sympathy? I bet on the latter.

Some of you people are really cold. [/quote]
