College funding and money issues: When spouse does not share the parenting burden....

@happymomof1 We pay her medical expenses. We pay her food, gas, car insurance, EZ pass, etc. She was on our health insurance until very recently and was devastated when I told her she needed to figure out how to purchase her own insurance.She doesn’t have any money. I was never willing to co-sign student loans with her because they would just become my loans. Can a 26 year old get her own student loans, midway through a semester?

And why is it so hard for me to walk away? She is my child and she has not launched.

I am working on understanding if my expectations and reactions are appropriate, excessive, or lenient. I don’t want to make things worse but I don’t want to abandon someone who doesn’t deserve that either.
