[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't get the "they took advantage of an immigrant kid" stuff.  They aren't nice and it's understandable that you don't like them but they didn't take special advantage of you.

I feel like I was fulfilling their obligations to their son.  We both worked several jobs through college and grad school. They could have made lives easier for us but didn't.[/quote]

My husband and I both took care of college and grad school on our own.  I don't get what your problem is.  Parents are only obligated to provide for kids until 18.  There is no obligation to pay for college.

Honestly, I never understood this. Does your child stop being your child the night of their 18th birthday? Why not educate them and give them a start in life, if you can.[/quote]

But you even said at the time that one parent had passed and the other one was going through financial hardship.
HE should have been a real man & accepted the responsibility for himself.

Also, if parents want to pay their children's tuition as a gift, that's wonderful.  However, it should NOT be expected, as they have NO obligation to do so & you can't blame them for trying to make their children responsible, by paying their own way.

You're just so blinded by hatred OP, you can't see the forest for the trees.

When it comes to the tuition, your husband is soley to blame.
When it comes to the way they treated you, he allowed that too & your husband is solely to blame.

He should have never have accepted your money, just to manipulate you into placing blame in his parents lap.
I know plenty of kids who's parents never pay a dime towards their tuition & they work 2-3 jobs while in school.

Why are you blaming his parents that YOU got stuck paying off his tuition... blame him.

That sounds extremely manipulative.[/quote]
