Love, my relatives are on the other side of the U.S. My two sons are in California, one has MS and is unemployed, the other a couple of hours away. Unfortunately, there's no way I could get financial help from either since they're both unemployed after being laid off. I have lots of friends but no one who could really give me support other than moral. Yes, I have to get away but can't really count on financial security with so little in my 401(k) and given financial situation. He's a loose cannon for sure and will eventually have to fight the battle with his demons himself. Thanks for your input.
