Undertaker, I am so glad you are safe from that idiot. I do believe women should always be prepared in a relationship financially. Becoming dependent on anyone else is a huge mistake and a place where advantages can be taken by the bread winner if they are of that ilk. I'm not a man-hater and was lucky enough to have married a good guy. His money was my money and vice-versa. Hopefully your mom can work out something out to provide for your family.

You've been exposed to two "real dirt bags" it appears; and hopefully in your future you will do much better than this with your life.

It's tough right now, but I do so hope your mom uses wisdom to bring household finances into the home for her family. Hugs, bj
