Ask Amy: Should I withdraw my support from my child following her unsettling offense?


Dear Amy:
I have three children, ages 38, 41, and 52. The two youngest have children under the age of 10.

Every year, I generously give my children thousands of dollars. I provide three times as much to my oldest child, as she has been dealing with a long-term illness, even though she refuses to see a traditional doctor. Surprisingly, none of my children acknowledges or appreciates my gifts. The only time my middle child thanks me is when I specifically ask if the money has been deposited into the children’s accounts.

Unfortunately, our family has faced a complex situation due to a car accident caused by my eldest child while under the influence of drugs. This accident resulted in the loss of a woman’s life and her baby. As a result, my eldest child served a four-year jail sentence. To protect our family from death threats, we had to relocate to another city. Consequently, the youngest two children have severed ties with their older sibling. Now, my oldest child is upset with me because she believes I favor her siblings. Despite years of therapy, my children refuse to seek help.

I am left wondering if there are any options available to me other than ceasing all financial assistance.
