And this girlfriend of his? Besides bleeding him dry, I couldn't imagine what else she was good for.

My son. Six years out of college. Hadn't held down a real job for a single day.

Three selfish idiots in one pile. Didn't take much imagination to picture how that circus would end.

The son I'd poured my life into raising was a total loss.

It stung. God, it stung. But cutting my losses now mattered more.

I wiped the tears from my face in one clean motion, then lowered my head and dialed my lawyer.

"I want to legally sever my relationship with Dylan Lawson. Effective immediately."
