IF you warn them in advance, they tell you to MYOB, then wind up in a disaster.  Why should parents (who may be older/retired) have to bail out an ADULT's bad decision?  Ive seen too many parents decimate their retirement accounts, get home equity loans, to help grown kids who have made bad decisions.

Had a friend who was in a domestic violence situation.  We all rallied around, helped her and her daughter escape, got her into a new state, new job, new apartment - donated an entire household of furnishings and drove them out to her.  Someone else even gave her a good used car.  Her parents got her to go to counseling, both emotional and legal.  First time she had to see her husband at a divorce proceeding he sweet talked her back.  She left everything behind and went back with him.

Sometimes if they make their bed, they have to figure a way out.  [/quote]
