Should I expect my ex to help our 23 yr old son through college?I know he's an adult, 23. He just started full time college this year far away from home. I borrowed from my 401K to help with tuition and living expenses. He is doing very well. He is having a hard time finding part time work as everyone around him is looking too. He needs help with his ph bill, food and gas. I'm thinking of not paying some of my credit cards to send him some extra money. I also have a 26 disabled son living with me and I also look out my 8yr old grandaughter. (belongs to my disable son) My ex remarried a woman who doesn't work and just had a baby girl. Im trying to be understanding but he shouldn't forget about his older sons just cuz he's starting over. He did this to himself but I guess you can't squeeze wine from a grape. My son in college will finish with or without his help. He's there now because of me. We didn't ask his father about it and I guess now shouldn't expect his help. How sad, that some people can't think on their own and just offer help without being asked....at least my boys can see that I am here for them and can count on me. - Asked by Female, 46-55 |

My 11 year old kid came home in hysterics yesterday. How would you have handled this as a parent?My very sensitive and slightly built 11 year old son came running home in hysterics last night. It took me over an hour to calm him down. He had been playing at a friend's house and the other kid is a nice boy. His mother, on the other hand, apparently has a very bad temper. She flew off the handle over a very trivial matter, and FORCED my son to watch her beat her son with a stick, unclothed. That was bad enough, but then she grabbed my son, pushed him against the wall, put her hands around his neck, and yelled and spat and cursed at him. She actually spit right in his face. My son is not used to that type of mistreatment and ran home in the dark sobbing. The boys had not even done anything wrong, and I got the story straight from the mother, and it's beyond ridiculous and childish, not that anything warrants that type of abuse. I feel sorry for both her kid and my kid. What would you have done in this situation? I have had misgivings about the family for a while, but the kids are nice enough, and the one boy is my son's best friend. The house is filthy and should be condemned, but I overlooked a lot in the name of friendship, because I do like the kids, and didn't think they should suffer, and didn't want to break up best buddies. Now, I really regret that. I reported all this to the police last night and they came out. I worry a little about repercussions, and my son is terrified of this woman, but it was the only thing I knew to do. I am a sole parent and a widow, so didn't have the wisdom of another parent to bounce this off of last night. How would you have handled it? - Asked by Female, 46-55 |

Is it wrong for a man to leave the mother of his child if they no longer get along?Just because a man chooses to not be with the mother of his child does NOT make him a bad person. Whenever this is the other way around and the woman decides to move on people generally praise her for being strong enough for doing so. I don't get it? If a man is not happy with the child's mother, he should not be forced to stay. It doesn't change the love for the child, at all. As long as he remains active in the child's life & continues to hold that responsibility. Out of all the times I have seen this happen, the woman makes it hell on the father to talk to the child, let alone see the kid. By doing this you are only hurting the child. Move on and accept how things are and continue on with your life, obviously it is not meant to be. Two people should never have to stay together for the child. The child should grow up in a loving home, not one where they see constant fighting, cheating & whatever else is the problem. If my parents were still together and I found out that my father cheated on my mother and they separated a few times while I was younger I would feel very lied to. I would feel better knowing that if they are separated it was for a reason, and they did the right thing. What is everyone else's thoughts on this subject? End note, I do agree that a child should have two parents while growing up, but in some situations it just doesn't happen..and I'm speaking about that one. - Asked by Female, 26-28 |
