Input: My dad is an honest, hardworking guy, but has always been financially unstable, running his own business with employees. I'm 27 (only child) and he has never asked me for help until now.

Last week he called me very upset and told me that he only had $300 in his account and needed help to pay bills. (He also has no CC because of his credit, so this is his only money). He asked for $2000–$3000. With that little in his account obviously I wanted him to pay his bills and also be able to eat, get gas, etc. I sent him a check for $2500 and figured after this hurdle was out of the way, we could figure out a long term plan.

Tonight we spoke again and he told me he went to his CPA and realized he actually has $4500. He seemed to think now everything is ok, but still needed my check to pay his employees and get more established. I asked him, if he has access to his bank account, how did he not realize this was the case? He said that his administrative employee told him he only had $300 and wouldn't be able to pay his employees, just to be mean to him.

You'll have to take my word that he's an honest guy, just clueless and naive. I don't think he was trying to trick me, but I feel that the situation is unfair to me because I gave him that money under the belief that he wouldn't be able to pay his mortgage or eat without it. With the money that he has, I could provide a smaller amount or help him figure out a better long-term plan.

The check is still in the mail to him. WIBTA I asked him not to cash the check and canceled it? I would obviously give him a heads up about it first.
