My husband is really pissing me off. We've been using my parents' car ever since we moved back to California. It wasn't in the best shape, but it got the job done. We moved 40 minutes away from everything which was a bit rough on it. Then we moved an hour and a half away and it started to show signs of transmission problems. My parents took it in, and it is going to cost $3,700 to rebuild the transmission. My parents asked if we could pay $1,000 ($100 per month) towards the repairs since it's pretty much been our car for the last six months. My husband is, in my opinion, being ridiculous. He thinks he shouldn't have to pay anything, and that we should use my disability back pay towards our own new car. He's upset because he doesn't like my parents. They don't acknowledge that I'm bipolar and that upsets him. I keep telling him that he needs to put his emotions toward them aside, but he loves to say, "You're bipolar your thoughts don't count." I'm so pissed off! I just want to get rid of him, and get a new payee because he doesn't even give me an allowance. I have to tell him everything I want to buy, including tampons. He says he doesn't like my parents and he doesn't want to do business with them. I understand not liking them, because we've had a long hard road trying to get them to accept that I'm bipolar, and they still haven't, but this is kind of a no brainier to me. The only thing wrong with this car is the transmission, so for $100 a month for ten months we get to keep this car as long as it takes us to find a new car of our own. He keeps saying that $1,000 could go to another car. Well what will we do until then!? We live in the dessert and the nearest Walmart is 20 minutes away. We wouldn't be able to take care of our kids without a solid car. Am I wrong?
