[quote=Anonymous]I’ve read both of your posts and given this some thought, OP.  It seems whenever you have a problem, the only solution you come up with is to run from it.  Going to your parents is running away yet again.  The problem with that solution is that you never resolve what the actual problem is.  So you have money problems with your wife.  Treat her like a partner, and not “the problem.”  Both of you need to learn about money and how to fix your debt problem.  Start reading to learn the steps you need to take to get out of it.  Because of the coronavirus, at least some states have put a hold on foreclosures and evictions for the time being.  Use this time to get some traction.  Google Dave Ramsey and read his advice.  Start with the baby steps.  The “kids” are young adults.  They can be part of the solution.  Everyone in the family needs a job and needs to be contributing to the family. Learn how to sell the extra stuff on eBay. The math itself is not the hard part; it’s simple addition and subtraction.  Use a calculator for the big numbers.

You should apologize to the other kids you have.  My advice there — make the initial letter short.  Stop the long letter which is probably full of your tales of woe and blaming others.  They don’t want to hear that.  Acknowledge their deep hurt and tell them that you’re truly sorry.  Ask for their forgiveness.  Don’t expect instant forgiveness.
