<font color="purple"> Feeling pretty depressed right now.
.
I have 4 grown children and today 2 of my daughters wanted money. The youngest daughter wanted to borrow $150.00 to buy her husband a new pair of work boots because he has some kind of a problem with his muscles and feet. My middle daughter wants my husband and I to help buy her youngest daughter's school clothes. She is also hinting around about her phone being disconnected so I'm sure she's wanting us to pay that too. We just paid her electric bill 2 months ago.

I'm retired and my husband retired in 2004 but got another job in Sept. of 2006. He's planning on retiring at the end of Sept..

For some reason my middle daughter acts like it's our place to help pay her bills. She has COPD plus several other physical ailments so she can't work right now but she was this way long before she was diagnosed having these ailments.

My brother and his wife are very wealthy so she's always wanting me to ask to borrow money, pretend it's for me, then give it to her. There is no way I would ever do that. I know he would give me however much money I needed but I would never ask him for money unless it was an absolute emergency.

We have given our middle daughter thousands of dollars over the past few years and even though I've told her we can't give her anymore she keeps asking.

Can someone please advise me what to do about this situation with my middle daughter.

Wouldn't take much to have my doctor admit me into a behavorial center so I wouldn't have do deal with almost every day.

Sorry for such a long post.
