My Son Thinks I Stole His Money After His Heartbreak! 😱💔

My 16-year-old son lost his girlfriend in a tragic accident, and our house has been nothing but chaos ever since. Out of pure love and worry, I took over his finances to stop him from making impulsive decisions while grieving. Now, he’s furious—accusing me of stealing his freedom and even hinting that I’m pocketing his money! The trust between us is shattered. I’m just trying to protect him, but he says I’m controlling and don’t respect his choices. I’m so angry and confused—how did my care turn into a war over money and trust? Has anyone else tried to help and ended up the villain? I’m desperate for advice before this tears us apart. Please, help me figure out how to fix this mess! 😤💵💔 #FamilyFinance #TeenGrief #ParentingStruggles #RomanticRelationships

Give him his money.And let him learn the hard way when the money is gone.He can be an adult and figure it out on his own.I wouldn't allow him to be disrespectful to me.You can only do your best....

Part of growing up is making stupid mistakes with money. If it's a joint account and money you've given him, then you do have some say in what he spends it on but not much. If it's money he has earned, you need to give it back and butt out. Plus, let him grieve. He has lost a friend and you are not helping him deal.
