One thing that I forgot to mention. The other day in an email H stated that either we (us living at the house)needed to either divide up the utilities and give him the money for them, or get them out of his name. I had already started paying them in January. I told him to give me the customer service and account numbers and I would get them out of his name. I told him the kids and I had a financial agreement that worked for us and that I, and only I, would be paying the utilities. He also stated that his half of the mortgage was due. I told him that that was between him and S26. (H talked to S26 and H will pay it this month) I told him to look into a Quit Claim deed, that it might be cheaper. I guess this probably was a mistake as it prompted a talk between H and S26 that the house would be switched over in March. H still has not given me the customer service or account #'s. H forgets so much these days, should I remind him again to give them to me or continue giving him the money to make the payments? I know about what they run so he is not asking for more than they are. Paying these bills are a 180 for me as H always took care of them. Showing him that I am and can take care of business makes me feel good. I just wonder if it enforces his notion that we really don't need him. We certainly can get by w/o him here financially, but he just doesn't realize he was so much more to all of us than a paycheck.
