Roy's daughter called and asked us for money today. Roy told her he would have to ask me, and we discussed it, and are on the same page. The answer is no. #1 we really don't have much and what we do have, we need. He has been telling her for years to get a job, but she has not had one in 10 years. Her house is behind in payments, and that is her fault. She gets plenty of child support and alimony, but never goes after him when he gets behind. Her income is more than ours per month. Roy told her 5 years ago she needed to go to work, but now she says she can't find a job. In 5 years, something should come along, don't ya think? Her 19 year old daughter just found a job.
She is upside down in that house anyway, and losing it would not be a bad thing. She needs something she can afford and smaller.
I am so mad right now I want to call her and just chew her ass out, but I guess I won't, I will try to vent here. When he called her back to say no, she said: What about when your parents helped you out through the years, started crying and hung up. Roy I know is really, really, hurt. Now keep in mind, we never were in any kind of situation like her, and never in danger of losing our homes. She allowed her situation to get where it is, it isn't something that happened over night.
His parents left her a large amount of money that she squandered away. We need the small amount we have for little luxuries we have earned, like insurance, etc. You know I will take the total blame for this, but we are on the same page and are not going to give her the money.
I bet she ends up calling her mother that she has not talked to in a year.
Had she been more caring, or even given us a hint she cared, I would feel differently, but seeing how she reacted, I am glad we did not cave in.
This is the first time we have heard from her in months, too.
