So... My ex step dad wants to pay for me to make a move on a new career. I'm not asking my mom for money bc she helped me through college. My dad is a piece of shite and won't help with anything. Should I take him up on the offer (which he doesn't want to be reimbursed for)? Should I insist on paying him back? Or should I take the money and not look back?

Accept the money with grace and gratitude, if that's what you want.

Insisting on paying the money back is all well and good but you have to actually, you know, pay the money back. Don't make a production out of doing that and then not deliver.

A respectable person would be gracious and pay him back whenever the time comes. Post job of course.

Take the money and pay him back later.



Consider yourself really lucky as well....think how many others would love to have this dilemma.

What exactly does paying for a career change entail

Sounds like your ex-step dad that raised you is in fact the best dad you have. Accept the money and attempt to pay him back at a later date, though I seriously doubt he'll take it.

Don't forget about him on father's day.

"Thank you. I will do my best to reward your faith in me".

no promises to pay it back. Just really put in the time and effort to make it happen.

Any idea how much money we're talking about? Doesn't seem like it'd be too much if the job is already secured.

I still don't know whats you are needing money for?

Is this to move and get an apartment in the new town you have a job in? If you've been living away from mama the last 5 years, how did you pay to live? How do you not have enough money to get an apartment considering you have a job? Is he giving you a few hundred books to move?

or Are you going back to school? I have to assume this b/c its the only one that makes sense.
