I find it interesting that responses to the post have referred to borrowing/a loan from parents when that wasn't in the original. I assumed it was asking for assistance that was just as a parental gift. I've only ever had the gift form. Perhaps it's that I'm worse off in my level of functioning than some of you are? I'm currently on social security disability and Mom knows I can't afford to repay her. Without her financial help, I can't imagine what I would have done during the period of months of waiting before disability income started; I would have lost my modest home and had to move in with others. Mom did offer that I could move back in with her, but luckily I was able to stay in my own place.
