This all applies to family too.
Give it with no strings attached. If you get the money back one day, consider it a bonus. Or a gift back.
My son and FIL are still estranged due to a money "loan". Sad. It's not worth it. I would have rather seen my son do without than wreck a relationship.
And yes, I told my son not to do it.
Sorry about that Hoosierdood. I can only advise what I would do; walk away and hope one day, he will come around and try to repay you. Otherwise things could just get worse.
