I inherited some money just as my Dd lost her job. It took a long time for her to find another so I was glad to be able to help her out, giving her most of my windfall. She told me that she’d never be able to repay me. and I accepted that.
Now her partner is being made redundant and in this economic crisis he too may be out of work for a long time. I’d like back the money I “lent” to do work on my house, which I can’t afford otherwise.
They have young children and I wouldn’t ask if they really need all of his redundancy pay but am I justified in dropping a hint?
