This effects my cancer stricken DIL and my grandson. My worthless son won’t find a job, uses his type 2 diabetes which is diet fixable to a big extent, it won’t help the PN that was his fault for ignoring the diabetes warnings. I am tough loving him, NOT ONE RED CENT, he dug this hole, now he can dig his way out. The gov’t won’t cover him any way, he is a White Male in a job that has no hours now, 16 in the past month, and still he sits on his butt not looking for a job, expects his cancer stricken wife to hunt down the charity aid. I wash my hands of him money wise. He still has my heart as he is my son, but I firmly believe a true man supports his family if at all possible! So you have to start at the bottom and work 2 jobs, to replace your cancer stricken wife’s income. DO IT, BE A MAN not a whiny child-man.
I supported by myself 2 kids for a decade. Gave up anything that was not a necessity and used rummage sales to clothe us.
Cry me a river, IF I can do it on just a HS education during the peanut farmer’s administration, he can do it on a come from the bottom to a Supervisor’s position education.
I feel sorry that my really good DIL and grandson have to suffer for the sins of his father and her husband, my failure of a son to be a REAL MAN!
You have my sympathy GailA. Is the housing situation stable at least? I cannot imagine the stress on your DIL.
