From following your other posts, I know you have tried and tried with your son’s bfamily. Lots of people would have taken a break from their OA’s after putting up with what you have and rightfully so IMO.

If he wants to go to school, he can get financial aid to help support his family. Plus, there are many services available to them. I would suggest that. Assuming they aren’t homeless right now, they can work and save for an apartment and may even be able to get vouchers (challenging in some areas but they should certainly look into it).

There comes a point in time where we need to learn to fish – They are about to become parents. I hate to think that a child may get put in the middle of their hardships. That said, you shouldn’t be expected to provide financial support if they aren’t willing to do the same.

Are they open to sitting down and making a parenting plan with your support? I can’t see you giving them $$ without a commitment from them. They are young – it sounds like they could use someone to help them with some grown up planning…

You have been more than patient IMO... I’m sorry they keep putting you in such in a tough spot…
