[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here and I guess the consensus here is to stay out of it, which is what I'm going to try and do. Someone asked if they have ever asked for money and no they have not. I did offer to help out with their down payment on the house but they declined. I will be forever grateful to my daughter-in-law for getting my son back on track. I guess I just don't think her helping him figure things out should give her a free ride for the rest of her life.

Also, while she may have helped him figure out what direction to go in career wise, he still did the work to get where he is. Yes she found the posting to the job he currently has and helped him apply, but he was the one who showed up to the interview and got the job. I guess I can't help but think that maybe she planned all this from the beginning. She was only 19 when they met and she could see that he was intelligent and had potential. I really just cannot imagine why she does not want a career of her own.  [/quote]

She turned his life around in 7 years what you never could fix since you screwed up for 20+ years.  If she hadn't turned his life around, he'd be the one having a free ride on your dime or on the taxpayer's dime.  If that was her plan from the beginning, you should be kissing her feet.

Clearly her life revolves around his, part of that is probably taking care of things at home so he can focus on his career.  That is SMART, considering he probably would fall apart again if she spent her energy working on her own career and not coddling him and keeping him on track.
