[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, let him decide if he wants to break free from Dad and maybe take loans if he needs or suck it up and put up with it a few more years. Afterwards he can disappear if he wants to.

As for as Dad's connections for internships and such, it doesn't sound like it's worth the heartburn

He won't need to take loans: I can pay and then file in court for collection according to the divorce agreement. The main reason I want the son to remain a sole heir AND maybe build a new relationship with the woman. I've lived my life, and believe that  a social network, more close people around you and their support is important, as you never know.  She's not the worst option: it won't be in anyone's interests if dad keeps dating and out of a sudden has a baby in his 60s. [/quote]

Based solely on your description of the situation, the psychological load of an unhealthy relationship with his dad outweighs any potential relationship benefits from encouraging him to comply with his dad's wishes. If that is his choice, you should let him pull back on the relationship.  Launch him into a healthy adulthood and watch him make his own money with no strings attached.  The load of a toxic relationship is rarely worth carrying. [/quote]
