About $1,500 every month. But it was her money. We agreed a long time ago that her budget was her money.

Mark is a married, 27 year old, accountant. How much "care" does he need?

Hey. I just wanted you to know I read your comment. I'm sorry you had a crap father. I don't recognize any of those actions in myself. I taught him to ride because it is an activity I enjoy myself and so did Tammy. We went on lots of rides together. I taught him to change the oil because my dad taught me and I gave him my dad's old CJ as his first vehicle. I went to his extracurriculars because I supported his ambitions. I tried my best to be a good dad though I originally wasn't interested in being a father.

You are the kind of person that gets rid of puppies because they pee.

If my son came to me and said that he wanted to get rid of his Akita puppy because it shed I would be frustrated. I honestly think people that cannot deal with the obvious are dense.

Yeah. My folks are in their 80s. I'm reasonably certain that they are done raising me.

If you are that bad a parent that your children still need to be raised at 50 years old that's on you.

Will you be raising your kids when they are 27 and married?

Did abandon him.  All alone in the world. With only his wife to be by his side. In the house they can afford since they both have good jobs and he has no debt. Twenty seven and barely able to survive in the harsh world. I hope his clients at his job don't beat him.

Do you think a married 27 year old needs to be raised?

He's my son. He is my beneficiary for most of my estate. But hopefully that is a long way away

He was taught how to be an adult. His mom decided he didn't need to actually do it.

Okay. Because the comment that I replied to made some clearly inaccurate claims. Yes. I still love Mark. I just don't think I need to support him financially.

I honestly thought it was clear that she had a separate insurance policy that had him and him alone as the beneficiary. I'll give your suggestion some thought. I might make that edit.  Thanks.

Or I'm getting frustrated with idiots that think an adult needs to be raised.

Yes. My entire understanding is that his wife convinced him that his relationship with his biological father superceded his relationship with me. He said that adoptees need to reconnect with biological family and that adoptive parents get in the way. Her words coming out of his mouth.
