They say blood is thicker than water, but so are dollar bills, apparently.
FILE - Annie Lane advises a grieving mom to first make sure her son is alright before worrying about money she leant him. Several years ago, my son asked to borrow money from me and promised he would pay me back. He was getting ready to go overseas for a couple years, so I asked him to set up payment arrangements with me. He said he didn’t owe me anything. I was so frustrated, and I said I would take him to small claims court, just to light a fire under his butt. I never intended to sue him.
He stopped talking to me. It’s killing me. I don’t even know if the phone number I have or the email are the right ones. I have sent texts and emails asking him to end this estrangement; he doesn’t reply. I’ve apologized many times and told him I don’t care about the money and I just want him back in my life. I don’t know what else to do. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. -- Heartbroken MomFirst and foremost, I would make sure that your son is safe and healthy.
