I can't fix it. Why? Because I don't think I did anything wrong. And, if I did do something wrong, inappropriate or offensive, I don't know what it is.

My daughter owes me an incredible amount of money, yet with their new jobs, no home and baby, they don't have the funds to pay it back just yet. They even live with us.
