I have a 20yo son Drew that I had with a girlfriend. If I could had kept Drew and not his mom then I’d do that. She’s basically a broke ass artist. I agreed to a generous arrangement that allowed her to stay in a nice part of town but my financial help would end once Drew hit 19.
The point was for her to get her life in order and not to live off my child support. The day after Drew turned 18, I had my lawyer send her a letter notifying her that my child support payments were ending in one year.
She freaked out. She’s done nothing over the last 13 years. She actually asked me to buy her a house. I told her to fuck off. Her dumbass could had bought a house with my child support but she insisted on renting.
She told Drew I was putting her on the street and he got mad. He said im rich so why can’t I just buy his mom a house? I said okay. I’ll give her YOUR college money. Come back to me in a month and tell me if you want me to help her dumbass out now that you know where the money is coming out of.
So now he and his mom are fighting over money. I do feel bad but they’re not bugging me over it. And I don’t give a fuck where my ex lives may it be in a mansion or a tent. She can go sell her doll artwork on the street corner.
Regarding Drew, oh I love that kid but his mom instilled a sense of entitlement in him that was bound to clash with me. I have two younger boys to worry about.

Yeah probably do the same. Though more advance notice would have been better.
