  • Yes, lent you the money but when he gave you that money, you made an agreement to pay it back.

You may have done everything you can to raise him, but he worked hard for his money. $3000 is not a small
  • amount. He was doing a lot to help you as well, and so I think we all owe HIM respect. I don't understand why you feel that my message was sarcastic, because I asked a pretty straightforward question and even explained my reasoning.
