I'm so sorry your H is selfish like mine!!!! It seems that's a theme, huh? Selfish WAS's!!!
I think you can bring up the fact that you think D needs a better car for next year. Just don't make it in relation to his removing the money from the account. Even if you D, big expenses like that will have to be shared. He could just say no about the car, but then he'd have to face why he was saying no.
For the longest time after H left, he would make comments about how nice it must be for me to be able to go out to dinner with friends, etc...that he must be letting me keep too much money cause he never had money to do those things. After a few very calm explanations from me that he had more disposable income than I did by far he was just choosing to spend his on rent and power at the new place he finally got the message. And, then he actually began to feel a little guilty about it I think. He bought S7's b'day gift...it was a little bit pricey, but he made a huge deal of it being from both of us, and he's never mentioned that I needed to give him any money towards that.
He'll eventually see where he's gone wrong. But, in the meantime, expenses for the kids are just as much his responsibility as they ever were!
Love you!! Amy
p.s. Thanks for the cheesecake! It's one of my favorites!!!
