Nothing like complaining about a handout, I guess.

Full disclosure: I got divorced about 3 years ago. My son who was in college bore the brunt of that decision and had to take out about 10k in student loans to finish school. He was the only one of my children whose education I wasn't able to completely finance.

So I'm grateful for this if it goes through. It relieves some of my parental guilt for not sticking with my ex until he was out of school.

As an aside, he did move in with me for the last two years of college. I wouldn't trade that time for anything. While I don't recommend getting divorced, if you can live with your adult son as "just a couple of single dudes" for a couple of years, it's an experience worth having. Now that he's a working stiff living on his own, I miss his company terribly.
