Need more info... <P>How much we talkin' about?<P>What does she need it for? Who's she spending it on??<P>By the by... if you feel used, you usually are... don't do anything that makes you feel that way. If she <B>honestly</B> needs it, give it to her. Not just to bail her out because she did stupid things with the money she had.<P>So, whacha think??? <P><P>------------------<BR>~Sheryl<P>Marriage: the most important contract you'll ever enter into, and the most sacred.<P><BR>

I know... didn't mean to imply otherwise, but you do have a right to know where it's going. Your kids are very young, somewhat expensive, but not like it will be later. <P>How is your mother involved?<P>------------------<BR>~Sheryl<P>Marriage: the most important contract you'll ever enter into, and the most sacred.<P><BR>

I got her involved. we never really had a relation ship until about 8yrs ago. She is in AA. I talk to her about every thing.<P>I just tried the W again. I have tried to call to many times. she got a little frustrated. She said give her a minute and she will call me back. I keep screwing up.<P>------------------<BR>brownphdt<P>

No, not screwing up... trying to help... you need to be easier on yourself. You're tying to save your life here.<P>Listen to yourself, not mom, not W, <B>you</B>. Do what your heart says. <P>------------------<BR>~Sheryl<P>Marriage: the most important contract you'll ever enter into, and the most sacred.<P><BR>
