[quote=Anonymous]I am the DH in your situation - deadbeat dad who abandoned us as kids and flits in and out every few years. I always tell my father to pound sand but it comes with all sorts of feelings. I completely understand the mixed emotions your DH must be feeling about this. It’s a messed up situation. The last thing I would want is for my own DH to react the way you did. You have every right to feel the way you do but you can’t put that on your DH when he has to navigate his own feelings about it. What you can do is talk calmly and without judgment with your DH about why he wants to give the money, how it would be opening the door for more requests, and your concern about how that money could go toward your own kids. Those are all valid points. You should be on your DH’s team 100% whatever decision he makes. Give him the same respect you would want if you were in his shoes. [/quote]
