Now some of you may be wondering why
he was still living with his parents? Was he in school? No and yes he was
working. His dad had belittled him for so many years that he didn’t think he
was smart enough to go to college. It took me a couple of years to convince him
otherwise , and now he’s getting great grades and every teacher wants him to be
their teaching assistant. He’s planning on grad school. But at the time he didn’t
see himself that way, he was working and most of his pay check was going to his
50 year old parents for “emergencies” he paid the taxes on their property. After
a car accident his dad got in to he put a down payment and cosigned for the new
truck so his dad could get to physical therapy appointment with the promise
that “he’d get paid back” when they settled with the insurance companies (he
didn’t). when his parents phone got shut
off he went and signed up for two cell phones
while his dad was in shoulder surgery so that they would have phone
service in case of emergency. He was
kind but STUPID.
Here is what eventually happened.
They did pay off the truck when they
got the settlement 18ish months later. After they missed several payments. They
did not pay him back.
About a year later, their cell phone
company merged with another company. They
decided that because of this they didn’t have to pay their bill anymore
although they kept using them. We found
out when we got a collections letter. We paid the difference.
When our oldest was small he agreed
to let them borrow our car to visit his brother in another state. They were
about to have a baby and the pregnancy wasn’t going well, I wasn’t pleased.
They hit a large bird windshield was damaged beyond repair, the logic was that because
the windshield already had one small not view obstructing crack. It was our
fault. We had to pay for that too.
I think that is enough for today. This
list could get too long.
