How aparentchooses to punish their kids is, within reason, up to them.
Some parents find this out the hard way.
According to OP, when her son was a teen, he got into hot water forbullyingsomeone at school.
Now that hes 24 and financially secure, OP says that her son has cut them off entirely.
She adds that, recently, her husband had a medicalemergency, leaving them with a mountain of bills.
Struggling to cope, the couple reached out to their son for help.
He flatly refused, crushing his dad who is apparently filled withregretabout how they treated him in the past.
But what, if anything, does the son owe his parents?
And is there any way for OP and her husband to repair the relationship with him?
We went looking for answers.
Despite this, most children are surprisingly keen to help their folks out.
Nearlytwo-thirdsof children surveyed say they plan to provide their parents with at least some financial aid.
Is there anything they can do to turn things around?
Perhaps they should start with an apology rather than a demand.
