Believer, have you been able to work out your housing yet? I have been thinking about you today and wondering how things are going. Any updates?

Believer,
This isn't about your actions right now. It is about his and your inability to correct it is making you frustrated. Am I close?

Believer:
I am so very sorry to learn the recent events. I was so pleased that things were turning for the best -- after you took the high road and encouraged your WH to take the early retirement. He, on the other hand, certainly stooped rather low with his actions.
I hope you got your housing situation worked out. I'm a bit confused -- you mentioned an eviction notice because of a $35 shortage in rent but later mentioned you lived in a manufactured home that you own. Perhaps I missed something.
It sounds like you have a lot pulling at you. Helping the kids with their expenses is a noble thing, but under the circumstances, you may want to gather everyone together for a family meeting and explain the financial strain and collectively seek some solutions to reducing some of those expenses and putting less of a financial burden on you.
As for your H. I will refrain from mentioning the thoughts going through my mind. And you are paying for this guy's health insurance? Whoa.
He needs a healthy dose of reality. You need a break. Please take care of yourself. No one deserves to be mistreated like this.

Besides, shooting you is rather extreme! Be strong and I wish you the best.

Yes, I should not have said someone should shoot me. I feel bad about that now, considering the plight of that captured PFC and our troops in Iraq.
I still think it was the right thing, to try to help my WH. He used to be a good man. But I really expected that we would be able to work together for both of our good, as far as finances. So much for that idea.

You did the right thing in helping your H. Take pride in that.
Still Seeking gave some excellent advice. Read that post again.
Sadly, you were hoping to work things out in an environment of fairness. But all people don't play fair.
