I Refused to Help My Son Financially, His Reaction Horrified Me

As parents, it’s normal to feel protective towards your kids and help them out whenever they are in trouble, no matter their age. But what happens when the help turns into constant expectations? One of our Bright Side readers, Justin, wrote to us about how his adult son wanted him to help out financially, for the umpteenth time. Justin refused, and what his son did next came as a shock. Scroll down to read about this father’s dilemma and guilt.

I see so many letters written to you about parents having financial issues with their adult children. I have a similar story to share, though mine may come with a twist.So, my wife and I worked hard in life to retire early with comfortable savings. Like we are not rolling in money, but what we have gives us a good life. Not just that, we have no debt, own our house and cars, and even put our kids, a son and a daughter, through college. All in all, we have no overhead, and neither do the kids.
