I have a friend in his twenties. His wife cheated on him, took everything he had, including their child. Got an outrageous court settlement causing him to have to pay so much in child support that he couldn't afford even a single room apartment so his parents said he was welcome to live with them, in fact they didn't like it when he finally was able to move so he took them up on their offer. Now after 15 years his mom made the comment "MOST PARENTS CHARGE THEIR GROWN CHILDREN TO STAY WITH THEM". Is this true, you have a son or daughter who has been betrayed by his wife, left with nothing and needing help, is it a matter of love for the son or daughter to help and not even bring up or expect money or is this world so cold that if he could have paid he should have? When his parents are old and can't take care of themselves he's always said he would take them in and take care of them.
PAY or NOT? This isn't a bum, it's a blue collar worker who had no place to turn to.
