She wants a reward for doing what a mother is supposed to do. You don’t get prizes for being a mom. You ruined his credit!!!

[@ButtonsCasey]

Depends. My mom and I had (still do sometimes) a rough relationship. Our dynamics are not like most peoples though. My mom is gonna be 79 in September and I live with her and help her out. I pay the mortgage payment, buy the bulk of the groceries, and pay some of the utilities. I do that because of what my mother dealt with and did for me. When I was younger I would throw the whole I didn't ask to be born and you didnt do anything special for me, however I look at some of my family members, like my daughter that I adopted shes my bio cousin, and know my mom did a lot. Not every parent is a parent.

[@tekanagainer6578]

Right...she and the step-dad are wrong.

[@angelastone4806]

Parent or not you have NO right to mess with your child’s credit. That’s THEIR score to be responsible for & THEIR future not for others to be playing with. My mom screwed my credit the second I turned 18 by opening lines of credit in my name or putting bills in my name, would hide the mail once it showed up in my name. Found a brief case full of unopened past due bills, when I asked her about it she told me at first she was paying them. Eventually caved & told me she couldn’t afford it but didn’t want to “burden me” with it aka take any responsibility or give me a chance to help. Only found out when I went to get a phone plan for myself. 29 as of yesterday & still working to fix the damage she had done.

Many low life parents do this to their children every day, sign leases, put lights in their Childs' names and so on. So, when the grown child tries to get a place or mortgage or loan, their credit has been trashed by their parent(s). Sad and it happens every day.

Same here. I had to cut my mother off for years. Only recently have I had some communication w her but w serious boundaries because she hasn't changed & she's elderly now, but in a way I had to learn to forgive an apology I never recieved & let go of the resentments & anger & just love from a distance. Even though I have some communication I won't bend on the toxicity, that's part of my boundaries. But I seen through his mother too.

[@fashionforwardmom]

How could you possible say that? Your mother gave you life then wiped your runny nose and your stinky butt. Took care of you, fed you, clothed you, protected you. I bet her whole life changed when you came and she chose you over her own life. Then you want to point fingers at her for putting you above her own needs? You can't be a parent of a child old enough to buck on you if you are a parent at all. Just saying kids don't come with instructions and parents are human and they do make mistakes. Quit holding your mom accountable for everything she has ever done wrong and start acknowledging that without her choice to birth you, you wouldn't be here to spit in her eye. I am sure she hasn't held you accountable for all the bad you have done or by the time you hit 4 or 5 years old you would've been left out in the cold. Parents go threw hell for their children and their children are so ungrateful it is sad. There is an old saying that what you dish out to your parents your kids will double or triple the pain you caused on you. You only have one set of parents and believe it or not that is the only true love you will ever feel, the sooner you learn this the faster you will grow up and the better your life will become as well as your kids if you have any.

I know the son may have resentment, but honestly both parents are wrong. It’s not about how much you’ve done for your son or anybody.

After she loses the case because she did not pay the bills that she committed to pay and hurt her sons credit, the plaintiff says, "I have been a great mother to my children!" Really? Sounds like you haven't to your son or your daughter. Your own mother says you are not a good mother. Your son has been on his own since he was 17! You have not been a great mother. No way!

Do the mother and stepfather think that they don't have earn a living..the mother should be ashamed of herself and she need to get rid of that so called man..It is very sad that they are in court over money

Wow, she is an awful mother. I'd cut ties except for letting them have visits with the grandkids.

[@deanwinchesterinthedarktower]

Why should the son "open the door" for them? They slammed it shut and locked it when they did him dirty. I'd be willing to bet his grandmother raised him, with how often he spike about her, and knowing she had his back. The judge was wrong for placating the mother and making it sound like he's wrong for protecting himself and his kids from further abuse.

[@18carolynmoore]

I think the Judge was out of line with the last comment. Some people are awful mothers, and no one should be pressurizing or judging someone for cutting contact with their family.

[@trekgirl65]

nope you are so wrong, unless you to law school for 7 years.

Rightfully so, sometimes if people are toxic including family members, distance is needed. This could’ve been worse if they were still in contact often.

So, the adult son is to be held responsible for providing shelter et al for his adult parents, both still of working age. Assuming facts NOT in evidence is not law. Shame on this judge for doing that.

[@aznmegs]

My mother did that to me. I was living with her then moved out and asked her to take my name off her lease. She refused and then the apartment complex called my cell saying i was on the lease and they were late on payments. In order for me to get my name off the lease I had to file a police report to get my name off. She kept on saying the same thing this mother was saying not admiting what she did was wrong. Thank god I did that before she got into trouble with the apartment complex or else I would be in the same situation this guy is in.

[@stevo9421]

If "all you got" is people like that then be without them. They won't have a relationship that isn't advantageous to their needs even with their own children. Any parent who thinks doing that to their child because they are being "disrespectful" clearly had no intention of doing right or setting a good example.

Sometimes you have to love from a distance family or not it's sad. But family can also be toxic.

Lol - the whole “id never sue my parents” or “hope they work it out for grandkids” Ya the hard truth is some parents are terrible people; narcissists who use their children as pawns and excuses for their behavior; some are heartless, abusive and cruel. The children unlucky enough to have them as their guardians should not be made to feel as though they owe these awful people once theyre adults. The trauma and abuse doesnt just go away instead your stuck undoing all the unhealthy coping skills and behaviors you picked up
