My oldest son is 29. I have been married since 2004. I live 3 hours from him. My youngest son commited suicide ten months after my husband did 2000/2001. He was 21. My second son died at birth in 1979. I only have one child. He has 5 children. I spend overtime helping with electric etc. He gets really mad that I do even though I make good money, nothing is lacking here. I gave my son my old house for his family and visit them once a month. My husband wants to sell it and put him out. I can't put pressure on him and don't want to. My mom lives with them and pays a lot of the expenses and I don't know if I am being unfair to a new husband, But I figure my overtime is my business. We have a beautiful house, boat, 3 cars, fun money and savings. Is it too much to allow me to contribute to my grandkids home and ease their burden? Am I being unfair? My husband has never had his own children and alienates all his other family with all but a Christmas card.

Seems to me that if your husband is alienated from his own family, he may be trying to alienate you from yours, also. It happens, unfortunately, all too often. He may be resentful and jealous of your son. Too bad for him. If your son is trying to support his family (5 kids, wow, that's gotta be expensive!) and your own household is lacking for nothing, then you are doing the right thing by helping them out. Part of the joy of having money is being able to share it with others!

i dont think you are being unfair.your husband is asking to much of you an is being selfish.an its not right for you to kick your family out of a house that your husband wants to sell.an plus your son is takeing care of your mom.just tell your husband to get over it your not selling.since you are aleardy have everything an dont need the money.an plus you will always have a home to go back to if something ever happens.
