Not seeing her daughter will have an effect on her. Not seeing you will also. Could you not pay all the bills? Make her see what it would be like with out all your income? Can you protect yourself and stop the money drain from your accounts? She is on a I am woman on my own, business women thing and it is not reality. Women usually suffer financially in a divorce even with a career. Where are you going to go to live? My husband is very responsible and in the past he lived on very little and let me have the money. This time he divided his check in half and we are both on a tight budget because we have some cc debt due to al these leases we had to pay as the longest he was gone was 10 weeks in 05. His therapist and my therapist both tried to get him to move in a Marriot week to week place but when he does this. It is "permanent" or so he says and then we are stuck with a lease. Is this an option? Have her move out for a month and then see how it goes? Could she afford a condo on her own. Maybe see if you could do a budget and then let her live on her own but not in an expensive place. She may need a female roomate too! I am guessing a new business might not be paying off yet. I hope I don't seem too bossy! Keep working on the divorce busting.
